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

Once I was winning
In fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed for
To get a start in life's game
Then suddenly it happened
I lost every dime
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 over
And my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones
I wanna leave them no doubt
But one thing's for certain
When it comes my time
I'm gonna leave this old world
With a satisfied mind
I'm gonna leave this old world
With a satisfied mind
I'm gonna leave this old world
With a satisfied mind
