Faron Young - A Satisfied Mind lyrics

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 Once rich man in ten with a satisfied mind Once I was winning in fortune and fame Everything I could wish for to get a start in life's game Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind Money won't buy back your youth when you're old 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 over, my time has run out My friends and my loved ones will weep, there's no doubt But one things for certain, when it comes my time I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
