A Satisfied Mind
View chords used in this chart
A D E7 A
How many times have you heard someone say
E7 D A
"If I had his money, I could do things my way?"
E7 D A
But Little they know that it's so hard to find
E7 D A
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.
E7 A
Once I was wading, in fortune and fame
E7
Everything that I dreamed for
D A
To get a start in life's game
E7 D D
Then Suddenly it happened, I lost every dime
E7 D A
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 is ended, my time has 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
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
By Porter Wagoner
