A Satisfied Mind

[Verse 1: Rosanne Cash & Neko Case]

How many times

Have you heard someone say

"If I had his money

I could do things my way"?

And little they know

That it's so hard to find

One rich man in ten

With a satisfied mind

[Verse 2: Rosanne Cash & Neko Case]

Once, I was winning

In fortune and fame

Everything that I dreamed for

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

[Verse 3: Neko Case, Rosanne Cash, Both]

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

[Verse 4: Rosanne Cash, Neko Case, Both]

When my life has ended

And my time has run out

All my friends and my loved ones

I will leave, there's no doubt

But one thing's for certain

When it comes my time

I'll leave this old world

With a satisfied mind
