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 10, with a satisfied mind.
Chorus:
Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
A friend when you need one, or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times, compared to that man with a satisfied mind.
Once I was winning my fortune and fame
Only thing that I cared for - to get a start in life's game
Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime
but I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
<Chorus>
When my life is over, my time has run out.
My friends 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.
Note: My dad would strum this one on that old 58 Martin. Love you dad...
