Satisfied Mind Lyrics

Red Sovine 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 its 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
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 is ending
My time has gone out
My friends and my loved ones
I believe there's no doubt
But there's one thing for certain
When it comes to my time
I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind
