Lovin' Of The Game

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
