Story Behind The Song

I was one a kids weekend at the cabin with my sisters. My sister Maureen said I should write a song about having cabin fever. I loved the idea! She gave my her lyrical ideas. I cleaned them up, added a story line, melody, chorus, and musical arrangement. I had a great time writing this one!

Song Description

A man stuck in a traffic jam skips work to got to the cabin

Lyrics

Friday morning alarm clock. Rush into a grid lock. Thinking I need something new.
Tired of driving to work each day, Stuck in a rut and same low pay.
I know just what I gotta do.

The factory is up ahead, I miss the turn, go straight instead. With a smile on my face!
Pick up my cell and call in sick. The boss man don't believe my trick!
Believe me it's true! I got a fever!


I got cabin fever. I just gotta break away! Make a great escape, from this human rat race! I got cabin fever. I got the fever.


Now you might think I'm irresponsible, and that might be a little bit true!
But when trying to survive this crazy life. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!
To cure the fever.


Cabin fever. Sometimes you just gotta get away! Make a great escape, from this humdrum mundane.I got cabin fever. I got the fever.


Hook up the boat, the brews on ice. Pack up the kids and grab my wife.
We get there by noon!
I kick back and cast a line. Pop a top I'm feeling fine. Are you feeling it too?

Night frogs croaking making music to my ears. Snuggle by the campfire with you.
Watch a million stars up in the sky. And a hoochie coochie coochie coo!
I love the cabin fever!


Cabin fever. Sometimes you just gotta get away! Make a great escape, from this humdrum mundane. Cabin fever I just gotta break away! Make my escape, to my
favorite place! I got the cabin fever! Got the fever! The cabin fever.Catch the fever!
