Fourteen Carat Mind

In the style of

Gene Watson

Lyrics

i still recall
the mornin'
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
sawmill dollars
for a bracelet
just to satisfy your
fourteen carat mind

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 sawmill occupation
can't afford to feed
a rich girl's appetite

i wonder if you're still
with willy jackson
sometimes i wonder
if he's still alive
old willy he gave up
his wife and children
just to satisfy your
fourteen carat mind

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
just to satisfy your
fourteen carat mind
