Satisfied Mind Lyrics - Ozark Mountain Daredevils

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 

once I was living 

in fortune and fame 

and all that I dreamed of 

to get a start in life's game 

then suddenly it happened 

I lost every dime 

but I'm richer by far 

with a satisfied mind 

'cause money won't buy back 

the youth when you're old 

or a friend when you're lonely 

or a hearts that's grown cold 

the wealthiest person 

is a pauper at times 

compared to the man 

with a satisfied mind 

(SLIDE GUITAR & HARP DITTY)
