Lyrics for Satisfied Mind

How many times have you heard someone say? "If I had his money, I'd do things my way" But little they know that it's so hard to find One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind For money can't buy back your youth when you're old Or a friend when you're lonely or a heart that's grown cold The wealthiest person is a pauper at times Compared to the man with a satisfied mind Once I was livin' in fortune and fame Had all that I dreamed of to get a start in life's game Then suddenly it happened and I lost every dime But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
