Bill Anderson - Satisfied Mind lyrics

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.

Well, once I was waiting on fortune and fame

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

Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime

But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind.

Money won'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's a pauper at times

Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.

When my life has ended 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 old world with a satisfied mind.

I'm gonna leave this old world with a satisfied mind...
