Lucinda Williams - Satisfied Mind lyrics

How many times have you heard someone say
"If I had his money, I'd do things my way"
How little they know that it's
So hard to find one rich man in a hundred
With a satisfied mind

Once I was living in fortune and fame
And everything I could dream of to
Get a start in life's game
And suddenly it happened, I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

No money can buy back your
Youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely
Or a heart that's grown cold
And the world's richest man 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'll 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
I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind
