Every once in a while in a woman's life
she's got to pack her bags and hit that trail
she's got to bid farewell to the ones she loves
she's got a case of wanderlust and she's got to set sail

Cause she felt that wind blow from the southeast
that means change, she's got to scratch those itchy feet
There's a little bit of gypsy in everyone's heart
And sometimes you've got to listen to that part

You can't quit your job, no you can't leave school
If you just take it easy you can work your way up
in the typing pool
You have a great apartment, they're so hard to find
what about the pension plan, better change your mind

When that urge to roam can't be put down
take out your money, give away the sofa and blow this town
Maybe just for a while or until God knows
Don't take it easy, take a good map and
