A Satisfied Mind lyrics

How many times have
You heard someone say
If I had his money
I could do things my way

But little they know
That it`s so hard to find
One rich man in ten
With a satisfied mind

Once I was waitin`
In fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed for
To get a start in life`s game

Then suddenly it happened
I lost every dime
But I`m richer by far
With a satisfied mind

Money can`t buy back
Your youth when you`re old
Or a friend when you`re lonely
Or a love that`s grown cold

The wealthiest person
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the man
With a satisfied mind

When my life has ended
And my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones
I`ll leave there`s no doubt

But one thing`s for certain
When it comes my time
I`ll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind

How many times have
You heard someone say
If I had his money
I could do things my way

But little they know
That it`s so hard to find
One rich man in ten
With a satisfied mind
