Joan Baez A Satisfied Mind lyrics

How many times have you heard someone say

"If I had his money, I could do things my way?"

Little they know that it`s so hard to find

One rich man in a hundred with a satisfied mind.



Once I was waitin` for fortune and fame

Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life`s game

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 is ended, my time has run out

My trials and my loved ones, I`ll leave them no doubt

But one thing`s for certain, when it comes my time

I`ll leave this old world with a satisfied mind

I`ll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
