"Fourteen Carat Mind" lyrics
"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 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

Lord, I learned a long time ago
You can't build a fire from the ashes of love
Roses don't bloom in the snow
Down deep inside my soul
Where once it was...
Mel McDaniel - "Hello Daddy, Good Morning Darling" It's another night alone, I'm just a face in the crowd
I came here for the laughter and the music playing loud
We're all here for a good time, but they don't know what a good time is
I can't believe...
T.G. Sheppard - "Only One You" I've seen this world
From corner to corner
There ain't much ground
That I haven't covered
I've drank its wine
I've tasted its pleasures
I've known some love
And I've known some lovers
If there's...
Johnny Duncan & Janie Fricke - "Stranger" Maybe she was smiling in the mirror
Maybe I was too cause I was stoned
Singing every sad song on the jukebox one more time
Honey they were hitting close to home
And I said maybe this will make you...
