(Billy Livsey/Don Schlitz)

|
She was nine years old when I first met her
|
She didn't dress like anyone
|
When she ran in a race the boys couldn't catch her
|
I stood back and let her run
|
I used to walk her home after school
|
Every chance that I could
|
I'd say to her "you're not like the other girls"
|
And she'd say "good"
|
|
She's got a mind of her own
|
She don't care what they say
|
They can tell her she won't
|
But she will anyway
|
She's got a mind of her own
|
But her heart belongs to me
|
|
The world turned and ten years later
|
I was playin' in a band
|
She was chasin' an education
|
College boys beggin' for her hand
|
I used to call her late at night
|
Every chance that I could
|
I'd say to her "I can't get you out of my mind"
|
And she'd say "good"
|
|
She's got a mind of her own
|
She don't care what they say
|
They can tell her she won't
|
But she will anyway
|
She's got a mind of her own
|
But her heart belongs to me
|
|
Here we are, a few turns later
|
She still don't dress like anyone
|
People say she's got no limits
|
I stand back and let her run
|
But when the lights go out at night
|
What we're feelin' is understood
|
I'd say to her "you're not like the other girls"
|
And she'd say "good"
|
|
She's got a mind of her own
|
She don't care what they say
|
They can tell her she won't
|
But she will anyway
|
She's got a mind of her own
|
But her heart belongs to me
|
