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 landing in the

tall hats and 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 to 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
