Lovin' Of The Game

(album: CowJazz - 1982)

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

All my life I've searched around
Travelling 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 loving 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 taking
It's the loving of the game
Oh, the treasure's not for taking
It's the loving of the game
The loving of the game
