I Get the Fever Lyrics

written and recorded by Bill Anderson
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
