Woke up this morning, not feeling too well
The man in my mirror looking mighty pale
On this old CB calling for emergency
But all of a sudden, it?s dawning on me
I don?t need no doctor
To tell me what?s wrong
I?ve known my problem
I?ve been gone too long, way too long
Homesick fever running through my vein
Lonely feeling, love hungry pain
You can say your daddy coming down with the blues
Got this homesick fever mama, missing you
That old evening sun, it's going down on my right
Baby, I?m southbound coming home tonight
I?m in the mountain, mama, headed up the hill
The closer I get to you the better I feel
That?s just one gift, mama
She don't get my mind
One once of your love honey
And I?ll be feeling fine, so fine
Homesick fever running through my vein
Lonely feeling, love hungry pain
You can say your daddy coming down with the blues
Got this homesick fever mama, missing you
Homesick fever, lonely feelin'
Yes, you can say your daddy coming down with the blues
Homesick fever mama, missing you
