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
