Satisfied Mind Lyrics - Lucinda Williams

How many times 

Have you heard someone say 

If I had his money 

I'd do things my way 

How little they know 

That it's so hard to find 

One rich man in a hundred 

With a satisfied mind 

Once I was living 

In fortune and fame 

And everything I could dream of 

To get a start in life's game 

And suddenly it happened 

I lost every dime 

But I'm richer by far 

With a satisfied mind 

No money can buy back 

Your youth when your old 

Or a friend when you're lonely 

Or a heart that's grown cold 

And the world's richest man 

Is a pauper at times 

Compared to the man 

With a satisfied mind

When my life is over 

And my time has run out 

My friends and my loved ones 

I'll leave there's no doubt 

But there's one thing for certain 

When it comes my time 

I'll leave this old world 

With a satisfied mind 

I'll leave this old world 

With a satisfied mind
