Jean Shephard - A Satisfied Mind Lyrics

How many ti-imes 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 wading in fortunes and fame
Everything that I've dreamed for to get a start in life's game
But suddenly it happened
That I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far
With a satisfied mind

Money can't buy-uy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown co-old
The wealthiest person
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the ma-an
With a satisfied mind

When life has ended, my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones, I'll leave them, no doubt
But one thing for certain
When it comes my time
I'll leave this old wor-orld
With a satisfied mind
