Jean Shepard Satisfied Mind
How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money I could do things my way?
But little they know that is so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
Once I was wading in fortune and fame
Everything that I 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 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 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 world with a satisfied mind
