Jean Shephard A Satisfied Mind Lyrics

A Satisfied Mind Lyrics

How many ti-imes 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
wading in fortunes and fame

Everything that I've dreamed for to get a
start in life's game

But suddenly it happened

That I lost every
dime

But I'm richer by far

With a satisfied mind



Money
can't buy-uy back your youth when you're old

Or a friend when you're
lonely or a love that's grown co-old

The wealthiest person 

Is a
pauper at times

Compared to the ma-an 

With a satisfied mind



When life has ended, my time has run out

My friends and my
loved ones, I'll leave them, no doubt

But one thing for certain

When it comes my time

I'll leave this old wor-orld 

With a
satisfied mind
