Johnny Cash-a Satisfied Mind Lyrics

Johnny Cash-a Satisfied Mind

How many times have 

You heard someone say 

If I had his money 

I could 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 waitin' 

In fortune and fame 

Everything that I dreamed for 

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 



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 my life has ended 

And my time has run out 

My friends and my loved ones 

I'll leave there's no doubt 



But one thing's for certain 

When it comes my time 

I'll leave this old world 

With a satisfied mind 



How many times have 

You heard someone say 

If I had his money 

I could do things my way 



But little they know 

That it's so hard to find 

One rich man in ten 

With a satisfied mind
