Satisfied Mind

(Red Hayes - Jack Rhodes)



How many times have you heard someone say

If I had his money I could do things my way

But little they know it's so hard to find

One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.



Once I was wining in fortune and fame

Ev'rything that I dreamed of to get a start in life's game

But suddenly it happened I lost ev'ry 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 ole world with a satisfied mind...
