To this day, when I'm feeling cluttered, I will take my mattress off of my beautiful bed, wherever that may be, and put it outside my bedroom, with a table and a little lamp. Just that and a lamp on the floor, and that was it-there was a certain calmness about it. I had old vintage coverlets on it, and even though we had no money it was still really pretty. In the old days, before Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey and I had no money, so we had a king-size mattress, but we just had it on the floor.
On March 31, 2009, Nicks gave an interview to Entertainment Weekly discussing the inspiration for the song: Some speculate the rest of this song is directed at Buckingham, assuming the lyrics depict her leaving him. Whenever she feels her famous life getting to her, she goes "back to her roots," and takes her mattress off the frame and puts it "back to the floor" and decorates it with "some lace, and paper flowers." It takes her back to the days when she had no wealth-back to herself as a poor gypsy. Nicks says the mattress was decorated in lace, with a vase and a flower at its side. They could not afford a bed frame, so they slept on a single mattress, directly on the floor. Though, they barely got by with the income from Nicks' work as a waitress and cleaning lady. They did not see each other again until college, where they started a relationship and a musical a duo called Buckingham Nicks. Nicks joined in with perfect harmony, then they introduced themselves. Nicks met Buckingham at a high school party, where he was singing " California Dreaming" by the Mamas and the Papas. Nicks and Buckingham were musical and romantic partners however, only their musical partnership has survived. Before joining the group, Nicks lived with Lindsey Buckingham, who would also join Fleetwood Mac. There are two points of inspiration behind " Gypsy", as stated by Stevie Nicks, the first of which is a nostalgia for her life before Fleetwood Mac.
