Lovin' Of The Game

Jerry Jeff Walker
Pat Garvey
I watched the feather river glide
Over shininí‚´ golden sand
Struck a silver ribbon wide
Held a million in my hand
But beside the lookiní‚´ for
The finders always take
And thereí‚´s nothiní‚´ drives a gambler
Like the loviní‚´ of the game
All my life Ií‚´ve searched around
Travelliní‚´ 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 loviní‚´ of the game
So long darling, doní‚´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 treasureí‚´s not for takiní‚´
Ití‚´s the loviní‚´ of the game
Oh the treasureí‚´s not for takiní‚´
Ití‚´s the loviní‚´ of the game
The loviní‚´ of the game
