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 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
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

Gene Watson Fourteen Carat Mind Comments
Nicest country singer I have ever met. Family friend use to manage him. Met him one night in Bran, Texas. Sat on his bus and enjoyed some country music history.
It’s what pussy does to men
Too bad Gene had just 1 Billboard #1 country hit.
I paid 7 sawmill $ for ah bracelet.....😍
the only song I really like that has that country beat.
A precious everlasting song
His best in my humble opinion
L.Russell Brown
LAST OF THE GREAT COUNTRY MUSIC
Love that piano
One of the Greatest...
EVER!!! Such a humble man, talked to me for awhile backstage at the fair. Down to earth, and genuine. He deserves to be inducted into The Hall Of Fame....This is an injustice to such a wonderful entertainer
Aaron King I agree !
Beautiful voice!
I love this song my favorite
I Wonder if this guy is still around to sing this good country music
Caden Monier
Caden Monier Yes , he is. He still does tours. I saw him in concert and he was great. Also a nice guy.
80's rock.........hell yeah turn it up
I can’t count the times I’ve dances to this song! Enjoyed every second.
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
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
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

Wonder what ever happened to ol Willy Jackson?
I have empathy for Willie Jackson although he screwed up
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
Laying by these railroad tracks in Denver
With a hurting head and a half a pint of wine

Such a handsome guy
Pound it out, Pig Robbins!
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
A car body shop guy like no other awesome guy
"Rich Girl" couldn't afford 7 Bucks for her own damn bracelet?
I went with my mother to see him in concert last night. Turns out that it's his 75th birthday. 10/11/2018. It was a good show. I mostly enjoyed the time with my mom!
Oh, and he did not sing this song. Too bad!
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?
Fantastic love this song and singer thank you for this great post
you're very welcome
Great version by Gene. Written by one of classic country's finest writers, Dallas Frazier.
..........A TIMELESS COUNTRY CLASSIC............!!!!!!!!!!!!
Laying by these railroad tracks in Denver with a hurtin head and a half a pint of wine.
You spent 7 sawmill dollars on her bracelet? No wonder she left you, cheap bastard!!

''The cabin that I built in West Virginia.........'' seals the deal for this WV Mountaineer!
Buck Johnson Same here !
how about them side burns I'm sure glad I never had those
James Hall it looks like his face is under attack by ferrets.
That was styling.
they don't make country music like this anymore
Brenda Brown wait you mean jason Aldean and luke Bryant singing about all the “country” thing doesn’t count?
Haha
@sgt420sx ha, ha. Just saw Gene in concert last night. These jokes can't hold a candle to him. He still puts on at great show.
sgt420sx nope
Sadly. They don't. Is why we gather here.
What a classic. Country music, yes there was such a thing.
Back in the day, girls like her were referred to as " Gold Diggers ".
go put your hair in a beehive hairstyle
They still are along with a few other name's lol
lol they still are called GOLD DIGGERS in 2019 ladies don't marry for love anymore riches trumps all
The cabin that I built in West Virginia..............EPIC LINE!
What all the Cabins in Pennsylvania!!
He is 73 today. Happy Birthday gene Watson.
this is a great song fantastic song I love you so
Great country
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.
love these old classics from Gene!
This song is great, makes me want to get up and start dancing.
memories of saul ky.
I am the 200th like. There should be more! Always loved this song.
Up to 1K now! Should be more! This was before my time but I sure do love it!
my grandpa played me this song when I was at my lowest over my cheating ex glad someone knows how I feel
If I was to compile a list of the top 10 country songs of all time, I think this would be on it.
Most definitely!
Yeah, I think it'd make mine too lol
Absolutely
I love this song so much.
Pure class!!!
Brings back so many good memories of my childhood! I've been a "classic" country junkie all my life. It never gets old! Wish we had real country singers like this on the radio today!
@MissMe 0417 appreciate you listening
indeed.
this song went to #1 on the country charts in 1982!!!
@Daniel Burns appreciate you listening
thanks for responding to my comment!!!
+Daniel Burns Yes it did, remember it well. Love this song.
