"Every time I hear the midnight trains rollin' 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 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 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 mem'ries 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
