Satisfied Mind Lyrics - Walkabouts

How many times have you heard someone say 

"If I had his money, I could do things my way?" 

Little they know that it's so hard to find 

One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind. 

Once I was waitin' for fortune and fame 

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

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 is ended, my time has run out 

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

But one thing's 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
