Byrds Satisfied Mind Lyrics

5.Satisfied Mind

How many times have you heard someone say
If i had his money i'd do things my way
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
For money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely or a heart that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind
Once i was living in fortune and fame
I had all that i dreamed of to get a start in life's game
Then suddenly it happened and i lost every dime
But i'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
