Jerry Jeff Walker - Lovin' Of The Game

I watched the feather river glide
Over shinin' golden sand
Struck a silver ribbon wide
Held a million in my hand
But beside the lookin' for
The finders always take
And there's nothin' drives a gambler
Like the lovin' of the game

All my life I've searched around
Travellin' hard from town to town
But I never really found
Anything to tie me down
Still I would not trade my time For a solid diamond claim
No, I would not trade my fortune
For the lovin' of the game

So long darling, don't you cry
I hope that things turn out for you
All these good times gone bye
Got to get ourselves a few
Still I would not trade my time
For a solid diamond claim
Oh the treasure's not for takinIt's the lovin' of the game
Oh the treasure's not for takinIt's the lovin' of the game
The lovin' of the game
