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   She don'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 she too had her wasy   But he went blind and lost his mind   She drove him to an 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 independent girl
