Gene Watson - Fourteen Carat Mind 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

    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

    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

  16. C.... R....

    Wonder what ever happened to ol Willy Jackson?

  17. J.... R....

    I have empathy for Willie Jackson although he screwed up

    I traded seven sawmill dollars for a bracelet, man I know about sawmill dollars.  He means he worked real hard at the sawmill for those dollars.  This song and Farewell Party are my favorites by Gene.

    Just proves country music today is not and has gone pop

  23. M.... L....

    A car body shop guy like no other awesome guy

    "Rich Girl" couldn't afford 7 Bucks for her own damn bracelet?

    R.... T....

    Oh, and he did not sing this song. Too bad!

  26. J.... S....

    Reminds me of chum back in the sixth grade. "I spent a whole 10 dollar bill to find out she didn't like me in the first place".she batted them eyes at us didn't she?

    A #1 hit for Gene Watson on the Country & Western charts. It was the 588th #1 C&W song of the Rock Era. It was also the first new #1 C&W song of 1982, knocking off Alabama's Love in the First Degree. What will the C&W scene be like in the new year? Stay tuned.
