A Satisfied Mind — текст песни (Bob Dylan)

A satisfied mind

Written by j. h. "red" hayes & jack rhodes



How many times have you heard someone say,

"if I had his money, I could do things my way."

But little they know that its 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 of to get a start in lifes game.

But suddenly it happened, I lost every dime,

But Im richer by far with a satisfied mind.



Money cant buy back your youth when youre old

Or a friend when youre lonesome or a love thats grown cold;

The wealthiest person is a pauper at times

Compared to the man with a satisfied mind.



When life is over, my time has run out,

My friends and my loved ones Ill leave, theres no doubt.

But one thing for certain, when it comes my time,

Ill leave this old world with a satisfied mind.
