She's been staring out the window four nights in a row
Like a caged up tiger, she's pacing the floor
And she just can't resist when she feels the pull
She's got a restless spirit that she can't control
And when she gets like this, I gotta let her go

She hears the call of the wild every once in a while
She lets down her hair, she's gotta get somewhere
She can turn it loose and howl
I know what's in store, Katie bar the door
When she winks at me and smiles
She's in a foot stompin,' honky-tonkin'
Love making state of mind
So excuse me, y'all, I gotta answer the call of the wild

If there's ever been a lady, well, baby is
Just more of a woman at times like this
Now, don't you worry about baby stepping out of line
Yeah, she drives me crazy, but it suits me fine
She's hard to handle, so I hold on tight
And Lord knows I got my hands full tonight

She hears the call of the wild every once in a while
She lets down her hair, she's gotta get somewhere
She can turn it loose and howl
I know what's in store, Katie bar the door
When she winks at me and smiles
She's in a foot stompin,' honky-tonkin'
Love making state of mind
So excuse me, y'all, I gotta answer the call of the wild

I said pardon me, y'all, I gotta answer the call of the wild
