I Get the Fever

(Bill Anderson)



Every time I hear the midnight trains

Rollin' out to the open plains

A sense of freedom fills my veins

I get the fever.



Every time a 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 mem'ries of cruel love

And I can't stand it seein' 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.



--- Instrumental ---



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 mem'ries 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...
