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

Yeah, 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

Yes, 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 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 clown

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

Yeah, fever makes you crazy 'cause it makes no sense

Like runnin' from your shadow out of self-defense

Well, 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

But we're all here 'cause he's not all there, that's right
