River Fever - Joe Ely

Didn’t I see you last night down at Antones

With some silver tongued bull rider from La Grange

Later that night weren’t you down at the Continental

Swinging from the chandeliers and actin' strange

Baby you got it bad

Like everyone I know

Baby you’ve got it bad

And you don’t want to let it go

I got a line on you, you got the River Fever

Like a bumblebee buzzin' round a honey comb

I got a line on you, you got the River Fever

Too late to skate too early to head for home

You sure looked fine in the beer sign light, baby

Scootin' your boots up and down the Broken Spoke

You shined on me like moonlight on a river

I wanted to talk but the words stuck in my throat

Oh Baby you got it bad

Like everyone I know

Baby you’ve got it bad

And you don’t want to let it go

I got a line on you, you got the River Fever

Like a bumblebee buzzin' round a honey comb

I got a line on you, you got the River Fever

Too late to skate too early to head for home

Don’t they say that nightlife makes you crazy

The same ones that say that sex will make you blind

Don’t they see the good times make you lazy

When the music plays, the moon will blow your mind

Baby you got it bad

Like everyone I know

Baby you’ve got it bad

And you don’t want to let it go

I got a line on you, you got the River Fever

Like a bumblebee buzzin' round a honey comb

I got a line on you, you got the River Fever

Too late to skate too early to head for home

The Shakes and chills, it’s just the River Fever
