Roy Acuff - Satisfied Mind lyrics

How many times have you heard someone say If I had his money I would do things my way? But little they know that's so hard to find One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind Once I was willing 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 has ended, my time has run out My friends and my loved ones, I'll leave there's no doubt But one thing for certain when it comes my time I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
