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
