Ozark Mountain Daredevils Satisfied Mind Lyrics

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



once I was living

in fortune and fame

and all that I dreamed of

to get a start in life's game

then suddenly it happened I lost every dime

but I'm richer by far

with a satisfied mind



'cause money won't buy back

the youth when you're old

or a friend when you're lonely

or a hearts that's grown cold

the wealthiest person

is a pauper at times

compared to the man

with a satisfied mind

(SLIDE GUITAR & HARP DITTY)
