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
