When I was just a little girl I had the biggest dreams Took me from Toronto All the way to Tennessee Daddy said to sing it loud Go on, make your mama proud Be what you're meant to be When I bust out of my cage Boy, you shoulda seen me fly I ain't into keeping still And watching life go by I've the whole world at my feet I skip along to my own beat That's just how I survive I'm a gypsy child, that's what my mama called me I'm a gypsy child, just a wanderin' free Travelin' singing songs Here for now but not for long I'm a gypsy child Mama says she misses me She's sad to see me go When I make it back to town
She's always at the show She knows just what I have to do The gypsy life means pa**in' through I love the open road I'm a gypsy child, that's what my mama called me I'm a gypsy child, just a wanderin' free Travelin' singing songs Here for now but not for long I'm a gypsy child All the world's a stage I've gotta play I'll be singing till my dying day I'm a gypsy child, that's what my mama calls me I'm a gypsy child, just a wanderin' free Travelin' singing songs Here for now but not for long I'm a gypsy child Travelin' singing songs Here for now but not for long I'm a gypsy child
