Johnny Cash Lyrics

"A Satisfied Mind" lyrics


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 cant 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 popper at times.
Compared to the man
with a satisfied mind.

When life has ended
and my time has run out.
My friends and my loved ones
will leave, there’s no doubt.
But there’s one thing for certain
when it comes my time.
I’ll leave this old world
with a satisfied mind.

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.
