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, why'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, why'all, I gotta answer the call of the wild 

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

Aaron Tippin

Aaron Dupree Tippin (born July 3, 1958 in Pensacola, Florida) is an American country music artist and record producer. Initially a songwriter for Acuff-Rose Music, he gained a recording contract with RCA Records in 1990. His debut single, "You've Got to Stand for Something" became a popular anthem for American soldiers fighting in the Gulf War and helped to establish him as a neotraditionalist country act with songs that catered primarily to the American working class. Under RCA's tenure, he recorded five studio albums and a Greatest Hits package. By the later half of the 1990s, however, his sales and chart performance began to decline, and he was dropped from the label's roster. more »
