The Lovin' Of The Game

(Album: Judith - 1975)

I watched the feather river glide
Over shining golden sand
Struck the silver ribbon wide
Held a million in my hand
But besides the looking for
The finding's always tame
And there's nothing drives a gambler
Like the loving of the game

All my life I've searched around
Traveling 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 a fortune
For the loving of the game

So long Darling don't you cry
I hope that things turn out for you
All these good times going by
Got to get ourselves a few
Where I'm going has no end
What I'm seeking has no name
Oh the treasure's not for takin
It's the loving of the game
The loving of the game
