A Satisfied Mind

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
