Fourteen Carat Mind

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

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

Staring at these railroad tracks in Denver

With a hurting head and a half a pint of wine

Everything except my soul has been surrendered

Just to satisfy your fourteen Carat mind

That cabin that I built in West Virginia

Was not enough to keep you satisfied

Because a man that’s got a saw mill’s occupation

Can’t afford to feed a rich girl’s appetite

I wonder if you’re still with Willie Jackson

Sometimes I wonder if he’s still alive

You know Willie, he gave up his wife and children

Just to satisfy your fourteen Carat mind
