A Satisfied Mind - Johnny Cash

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



Once I was waitin'

In fortune and fame

Everything that I dreamed 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



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 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
