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
