Satisfied Mind

The Byrds

How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money, I do things my way?
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
But 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
Once I was winning 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
