Gypsy Child

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 want 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 passin' 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
