Jerry Jeff Walker - Lovin' of the Game lyrics

Pat Garvey 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 takin´ It´s the lovin´ of the game Oh the treasure´s not for takin´ It´s the lovin´ of the game The lovin´ of the game
