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
