A Satisfied Mind

How many times

Have you heard someone say

If I had his money

I would 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 winning

In fortune and fame

Everything that I dreamed for

To get a start in life's game



But suddenly it happened

(Oh, so suddenly)

I lost every dime

(Oh, so suddenly)

But I'm richer by far

With a satisfied mind



'Cause 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



Why, the wealthiest person

Is a poor man at times

Compared to the man

With a satisfied mind



Don't you know you can't buy back

Your youth when you're old

Not a friend when you're lonely

And what about that love

That love you know that's grown cold



Now you take the wealthiest person

He ain't nothing but a poor man at times

Compared to the man

With a satisfied mind
