A Satisfied Mind David Allan Coe

How many time have
You heard someone say
If i had his money
I could do things my way

But little they know
That its so hard to find
One rich man in ten
With a satisfied mind

Onest I was winning
In fortune and fame
Everything that I'd dreamed of
To get a start in life's game

Then suddenly you're a pauper
I lost everything
But I'm richer by far
With a satisfied mind

Money can't buy back
Your years when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely
Or a love thats grown cold

The wealthiest person
Is a pauper at times
Compared to the man
With a satisfied mind
