Satisfied Mind – Jeff Buckley
“Satisfied Mind,” written by Joe “Red” Hayes and Jack Rhodes, was covered by Jeff Buckley. In an interview, Hayes claimed that the song was inspired by his mother and that all of the lyrics were things he had heard her say over the years.
He gave the song a lot of thought before deciding on a title. Hayes explained that the title was inspired by a conversation he had with his father-in-law, who asked him who he felt was the richest guy in the world.
His father-in-law reprimanded him after he mentioned certain names, saying that the wealthiest guy was the one with a satisfied mind.
