[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Once I was winnin' in fortune and fame
Had all that I needed to make a start in life's game
Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
[Verse 3]
For money won't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely, or a heart that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind
[Verse 4]
When my life is ended, and my time's 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
