THE WALKABOUTS - SATISFIED MIND lyrics

rate me

How many times have you heard someone say

"If I had his money, I could do things my way?"

Little they know that it's so hard to find

One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.

Once I was waitin' for fortune and fame

Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game

Suddenly it happened, I lost every dime

But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

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

When my life is ended, my time has run out

My trials and my loved ones, I'll leave them no doubt

But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time

I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind X2
