WANDERLUST
Every once in a while in a woman's life
She's got to pack her bags and hit the 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
Blowing from the southeast
And that means change, and she's just got to scratch
Those itchy feet
'Cause there's a little bit of gypsy
In everyone's heart
And you find sometimes
You've got to listen to that part
Every once in a while in a woman's life
She's got to pack her bags and hit that trail
You can't quit your job
You can't leave school
If you just take it easy you could work your way up
In the typing pool
You've got a great apartment
They're so hard to find
What about the pension plan
You better change your mind
But when that urge to roam
Can't be put down
You take out your money and you give away your sofa
And you blow this town
Maybe just for a while
Or until God knows
But don't just take it easy
Take a good map and go
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
