Every time I hear the midnight train rollin' out to the open plain 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 mem'ries of cruel love and I can't stand it seein' her with him Every time I hear a buddy say he's got lots of dust and clay Between him and yesterday I get the fever ( piano ) I get the fever... I get the fever I get the fever I get the fever
