Lovin' Of The Game Lyrics

Pat Garvey

I watched the feather river glide
Over shininÂ' golden sand
Struck a silver ribbon wide
Held a million in my hand
But beside the lookinÂ' for
The finders always take
And thereÂ's nothinÂ' drives a gambler
Like the lovinÂ' of the game

All my life IÂ've searched around
TravellinÂ' 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 lovinÂ' of the game

So long darling, donÂ'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 treasureÂ's not for takinÂ'
ItÂ's the lovinÂ' of the game
Oh the treasureÂ's not for takinÂ'
ItÂ's the lovinÂ' of the game
The lovinÂ' of the game
