Satisfied Mind Lyrics - Warner Mack

How many times have you heard someone say 

If I had his money I could do things my way 

But little they know that is so hard to find one rich man in ten with a satisfied mind 

Once I was winning 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 

[ banjo ] 

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 proper at times compared to the man with a satisfied mind 

When life has ended my time has run out 

My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt 

But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time 

I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
