--- 🎵 “Gear Jamming Fever” (Honky-Tonk / Swing Country Style) (Intro — Steel Guitar & Piano Trade Licks) [Instrumental swing riff – twangin’ steel and ticklin’ keys] (Verse 1) Well, I’m rollin’ outta Dallas with a full night load, Got a thermos of coffee and a long stretch of road. CB chatter sayin’ “breaker one-nine,” Got a smokey in the median, keep it tight on the line. Hammer down, baby, got no chill, Eighteen wheels and a heart of steel. That diesel hum gives me a thrill, I got gear-jammin’ fever and I can’t sit still! (Chorus) I got gear-jammin’ fever, hear that turbo whine, Steel guitar moanin’ in four-four time. Swing that wheel and roll that line, I got gear-jammin’ fever — and I feel just fine! (Verse 2) Pulled through Memphis ’bout half past two, Stopped for a plate of barbecue. Piano bangin’ on a roadside stage, Honky-tonk angel, turnin’ the page. She said, “Hey big driver, where you bound?” I said, “West on 40, maybe Tucson town.” She smiled and winked, said, “Make it quick,” Now I’m shiftin’ up gears just to make that stick! (Chorus) I got gear-jammin’ fever, hear that turbo whine, Steel guitar moanin’ in four-four time. Swing that wheel and roll that line, I got gear-jammin’ fever — and I feel just fine! (Bridge — Instrumental Swing Break) 🎹 Piano solo → 🎸 Steel guitar solo → 🪗 Fiddle takes a spin (Verse 3) Now the sun’s comin’ up and the road’s all gold, My rig’s still singin’ like a story told. Every downshift’s got a rhythm and rhyme, Been dancin’ with the white lines all this time. So if you see me flashin’ headlights, friend, That’s just my way of sayin’ amen. To the open road, my favorite fix — I got gear-jammin’ fever and it sure won’t quit! (Final Chorus) I got gear-jammin’ fever, hear that turbo whine, Steel guitar moanin’ in four-four time. Swing that wheel and roll that line, I got gear-jammin’ fever — rollin’ outta my mind! (Tag) Yeah, the road keeps callin’ with a sweet steel lick… Got gear-jammin’ fever — and I hope it sticks! ---
