how many times
have you heard someone say
if i had his money
i would 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
but suddenly it happened
oh so suddenly
i lost every dime
oh so suddenly
but i’m richer by far
with a satisfied mind
’cause 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
why the wealthiest person
is a poor man at times
compared to the man
with a satisfied mind
don’t you know you can’t buy back
your youth when you’re old
not a friend when you’re lonely
and what about that love
that love you know that’s grown cold
now you take the wealthiest person
he ain’t nothing but a poor man at times
compared to the man
with a satisfied mind
