A Satisfied Mind

Singer - Joan Baez

How many times
Have you heard someone say
If I had his money
I would do things my way

How little they know
It's so hard to find
One rich man in a hundred
With a satisfied mind

Once I was wading
In fortune and fame
Everything I could dream of
To get a start in life's game

And then suddenly it happened
I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far
With a satisfied mind

No, 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

And the world's richest man
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the man
With a satisfied mind

When my life is over
And my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones
I'll leave there's no doubt

But there's one thing's for certain
When it comes my time
I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind

Songwriters: Joe "Red" Hays, Jack Rhodes
