Fourteen Carat Mind Lyrics - Singles - Gene Watson

I still recall the morning that I met you 

Standing out in front of Wilson's five and dime 

Staring through the window at the jewelry 

Hungry for the things you couldn't buy 

Just like a fool I thought that I could please you 

I saw you had an eye for things that shine 

I paid seven saw mill dollars for a bracelet 

Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind. 

[Chorus:] 

Layin' by these railroad tracks in Denver 

With a hurtin' head and a half a pint of wine 

Everything except my soul has been surrendered 

Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind. 

The cabin that I built in West Virginia 

Was not enough to keep you satisfied 

'Cause a man that's got a saw mill occupation 

Can't afford to feed a rich girls' appetite 

I wonder if you're still with Willie Jackson 

Sometimes I wonder if he's still alive 

Ol' Willie he gave up his wife and children 

Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind. 

[Chorus:]
