A Satisfied Mind
Written by J. H. "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 that it`s so hard to find
One rich man in Ten with a satisfied mind.
Once I was winning in fortune and fame;
Everything that I dreamed of to get a start in lifes game.
But 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 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 life is over, 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.
