Burrito Brothers White Line Fever written by Merle Haggard White Line Fever a sickness born down deep inside my soul White Line Fever the years keep flying by like a high line pole The wrinkles in my forehead show the miles I've put behind me / They continue to remind me how fast I'm growing old Guess I'll die with this fever in my soul I wonder just what makes a man keep pushing on Why must I keep on singing this old highway song I've been from coast to coast a 100 times or more I haven't found one place that I ain't been before White Line Fever a sickness born down deep inside my soul White Line Fever the years keep flying by like a high line pole Copyright @ Blue Book Music(BMI) From the "The Flying Burrito Bros" LP A & M Records
