Satisfied Mind (Take 8) [09/17/65 Backing Track, Columbia Studios] Songtext
von The Byrds

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


For money can′t buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely or a heart that′s grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

Once I was livin′ in fortune and fame
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
