Every time I hear the midnight trains
Rollin' out to the open plains
A sense of freedom fills my veins
I get the feverEvery time a sparrow flies
Up into the endless skies
Something down inside me cries
I get the feverI 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 himEvery time I hear a buddy say
He's put lots of dust and clay
Between him and yesterday
I get the feverI get the fever to pack and leave here
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 sorrowEvery 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
