Porter Wagoner - A Satisfied Mind
Porter Wagoner sings his 1955 #1 smash hit "A Satisfied Mind" live at the Grand Ole Opry in May 1967. Songwriters were Joe Hayes and Jack Rhodes. Lyric: How many times have you heard someone say If I had his money I could 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 wadin' in fortune and fame Ev'rything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game But suddenly it happened I lost ev'ry dime But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind [ steel ] 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 life has ended my time has run out My friends and my loved ones I'll leave there's no doubt But there's one thing for certain when it comes my time I'll leave this ol' world with a satisfied mind
