Lyrics
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 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 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, 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
