Neko Case
A Satisfied Mind
[Verse 1: Rosanne Cash & Neko Case]
How many times
Have you heard someone say
"If I had his money
I could do things my way"?
And little they know
That it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten
With a satisfied mind
[Verse 2: Rosanne Cash & Neko Case]
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
[Verse 3: Neko Case, Rosanne Cash, Both]
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
[Verse 4: Rosanne Cash, Neko Case, Both]
When my life has ended
And my time has run out
All my friends and my loved ones
I will leave, there's no doubt
But one thing's for certain
When it comes my time
I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind
