Satisfied Mind Songtext / Lyric

Many more miles were behind him

Than he had left to go

Closing in upon that last one

We all must walk alone

It's the one across the end of the line

So we held on and we told stories

Of the good and bad in all

Of the power and the glory

And the lonely days that crawled

He said heaven holds true love

And a satisfied mind.






He said I ain't afraid of dying

'Cause I know there's something worse

When you have to see your reason for livin' go first

And you get left behind

Some can't think of nothing better

Than to live this life forever

I never wanted no more than was mine

And to lay down someday and go home

With a satisfied mind.



He said don't look into the darkness

If you want to see true black

Look into a morning's brightness

When love ain't coming back

You will find right there a darkness that blinds

And don't think wealth is ever having

All you want all to yourself

It is found when you are giving

What you have to someone else

The only difference in the rich and the poor

Is a satisfied mind.



And one light began to fade

As one grew brighter

And he said I ain't afraid of dying

'Cause I know there's something worse

When you have to see your reason for livin' go first

And you get left behind.



Some can't think of nothing better

Than to live this life forever

I never wanted no more than was mine

And to lay down someday and go home

Let me lay down someday and go home

With a satisfied mind...
