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 & 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's raise them from babies all by his self
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
