You can hear that ragtop humming down the blacktop
Anytime night or day
Well she keeps her motor running and her tops down sunning

The girl she's got her ways
I said the wind blows through her hair and she ain't got a care
In this old weary world

Well i guess you could say that in her own way
She's an independant girl


She don't care about diamonds
Shedon't care about pearls
She's an anti-innocent, self sufficient, independant girl

She said her daddy was a miner and mama was a shiner
And shee too had her ways
But he went blind and lost his mind

She drove him to and early grave
Well if she comes to your town motors running top down
Careful she can change your world

Just let me tell you boy
She's an independant girl
