Satisfied Mind Lyrics - Jean Shepard

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 wading in fortune and fame 

Everything that I 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 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 them no doubt 

But one thing for certain when it comes my time 

I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
