River Fever Lyrics - Ely Joe

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
