A Satisfied Mind Lyrics

Red Foley A 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 it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten, with a satisfied mind

Once I was living, in fortune and fame
Everything that 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

[Instrumental]

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, and my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones, I'll leave there's no doubt
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world, with a satisfied mind
