Satisfied Mind Lyrics

SATISFIED MIND

(Red Hayes - Jack Rhodes)

« © '54 Fort Knox Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI »



How many times have you heard someone say

If I had his money I could 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 waiting in fortune and fame

Everything that I dreamed of 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 my life's ended and 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
