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 winning in fortune & fame.
Everything I dreamed for to get a start in life's game.
But 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 your old
or a friend when your 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 life has ended my time has run out.
My friends and loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt.
But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time
I'll leave this ol' world with a satisfied mind.
