How many t imes have you heard someone s ay
If I had his m oney I would do things my w ay
How little they k now i t's so hard to fi nd
One rich man in a h undred with a satisfied m ind
Once I was w aiting in fortune and f ame
Everything I could d ream of to get a start in life's g ame
Then suddenly it h ap-p ened I lost every d ime
But I'm richer by f ar wi th a satisfied mi nd
No money can't b uy back your youth when you're o ld
Or a friend when you're l onely or a love that's grown c old
And the world's richest m an is a pauper at ti mes
Compared to the m an wi th a satisfied mi nd
When my life is o ver a nd my time has run ou t
My friends and my l oved ones I'll leave there's no d oubt
But there's one thing for c er-t ain when it comes my t ime
I'll leave this old w orld with a satisfied m ind
