Cabin Fever

It's been snowing for days, when will it let up?

On a first name basis with my coffee cup.

The cable's down so there's no tv,

Makes no difference with no electricity.

I've got the fever, cabin fever

And I think I'm losing my mind.

The snow's piled up against the door.

The wind's blowing harder than it was before.

These four familiar walls are closing in.

Lost track of how long I've been shut in.

I've got the fever, cabin fever

And I think I'm losing my mind.

I've about worn out my third deck of cards.

Wore a path to the window checking on my car.

It disappeared from sight a full week ago.

I know it's location by the shape of the snow.

I've got the fever, cabin fever

And I think I'm losing my mind.

I'll soon be out of candles and kerosene.

I never thought I'd miss the color green.

I thank the Lord for my old guitar

And whatever it was in that old fruit jar.

I've got the fever, cabin fever

And I think I'm losing my mind.

When this is over I'm heading south.

I long to hear the words, hush my mouth.

Or maybe even farther to the sun and sand,

As far as I can get from this winter land.

I've got the fever, cabin fever

And I think I'm losing my mind.
