A Satisfied Mind

Marty Stuart · Other Songs - Marty Stuart

Written by Jack Rhodes and Joe Hayes



How many times 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



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



Or a friend when you're lonesome, 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 has ended, and my time has run out



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



But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time



I'll leave this old world, with a satisfied mind



How many times 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



One rich man in ten, with a satisfied mind
