I remember her standing
In the tall grass and cat tails
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 teenage 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
