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
