I remember her standing in the tall grass and cattails

Away from the windows at the end of the day

watching the men from the lading in the

tall hats & coat-tails

She'd never look different

But something would change



A mind with a heart of its own

Yeah a mind with a heart of its own



Well the man out to end us had a hurricane business

He'd raise them from babies all by himself

but his teen-age accountant had become surrounded

he drank up the party and everyone left



A mind with a heart of its own

Yes a mind with a heart of its own



Well I been to Brooker and I been to Micanopy

I been to St. Louis too, I been all around the world

I've been over th your house

And you've been over sometimes to my house

I've slept in your tree house

my middle name is Earl



A mind with a heart of its own

A mind with a heart of its own

Yeah a mind with a heart of its own
