A Satisfied Mind

(album: A Satisfied Mind - 1971)

How many times have you heard someone say?
If I had his money I would do things my way
But little do they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in 10 with a satisfied mind

Well, once, I was wading in fortune and fame
Everything I'd ever hoped for to get a start in life's game
Then suddenly it happened, well, I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

Money won't buy back your youth when you are old
Or a friend when you are lonely or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

Money won't buy back your youth when you are old
Or a friend when you are lonely or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind
