I Get the Fever

(Bill Anderson)



Every time I hear the midnight train

A rollin' out to the open plain

A sense of freedom fills my veins

I get the fever.



Every time a sparrow flies

Up into the endless skies

Something down inside of 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 somebody say

They've got lots of dust and clay

Between them and yesterday

I get the fever.



--- instrumental ---



I get the fever to pack up and leave here

I beg many 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 somebody say

They've got lots of dust and clay

Between them and yesterday

I get the fever



I get the fever, I get the fever...
