I Get The Fever

Every time I hear the midnight trains

Rolling out to the open plains

A sense of freedom fills my veins I get the fever

Every time I sparrow flies up into the endless skies

Something down inside me cries I get the fever

I get the fever to pack up and leave here

And wander wild like the wind

This town’s too full of memories of cruel love

And I can’t stand it seeing her with him

Every time I hear a buddy say

He’s put lots of dust and clay

Between him and yesterday I get the fever

I get the fever to pack and leave here

And I think maybe I’ll do just that tomorrow

This town’s too full of memories of cruel love

Everywhere I turn there’s pain and sorrow

Every time I hear a buddy say

He’s put lots of dust and clay

Between him and yesterday I get the fever

I get the fever I get the fever I get the fever
