Fourteen Carat Mind

I still recall the morning that I met you
Standing down in Wilson's Fine and Dime
Staring at the jewelry through the window
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

Laying by these railroad tracks in Denver
With a hurting head and a half-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
Just wasn't enough to keep you satisfied
For a man that has a sawmill occupation
Can't afford to feed a rich girl's appetite
I wonder how it is with Willy Jackson
Sometimes I wonder if he's still alive
Oh Willy he gave up his wife and children
Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind

Laying by these railroad tracks in Denver
With a hurting head and a half a chug of wine
Everything except my soul has been surrendered
Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind

Just to satisfy your fourteen carat mind
