The Fever

He's got a split finger wrap 

And his rope's pulled way to tight 

He's got a lunatic smile  

'Cause he's really drawn deep tonight 



He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever 

Grab a hold of anything and hold on tight 

It hits you like the venom from a rattle snake bite 

We're all here 'cause he's not all there tonight 



He takes one breath  

And time turns inside out 

Then the gate busts open to the world he dreams about 



He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever 

Stick a rope on anything 'cause he don't care 

He'd even take a ride on the electric chair 

We're all here cause he's not all there tonight 



He says it's really kind of simple 

Keep your mind in the middle  

While your butt spins 'round and 'round 

Take heed to Sankey's preachin' 

Keep liftin' and reachin' 

And ridin' like there ain't no clowns 



What he loves might kill him 

But he's got no choice 

He's a different breed  

With a voice down deep inside 

That's screamin' he was born to ride 



He's got a fever, fever, fever, fever 

Fever makes you crazy 'cause it makes no sense 

Like runnin' from your shadow out of self-defense 

He won't run and baby he can't hide 

He thinks the odds are even leavin' one hand tied 

He gets so tired of hangin' on so tight 

I know you think he's crazy well I think you're right 

We're all here 'cause he's not all there that's right
