Lovin' of the Game

I saw the feather river glide
Over shining golden sands
Struck a silver ribbon wide
I held a million in my hands

But beside the search and fall
The findin’s always tame
And there’s nothin’ drives a gambler
Like the lovin’ of the game

All my life I’ve run around
Searchin’ hard from town to town
But I’ve never really found
Anything to tie me down

But I wouldn’t trade my time
For a solid diamond claim
No, I wouldn’t take a fortune
For the lovin’ of the game

It’s ‘bout time to say goodbye
I sure hope things pan out for you
With all these good times goin’ by
We oughta catch ourselves a few

Oh, where I’m goin’ has no end
And what I’m seekin’ has no name
And the treasure’s not the takin’
It’s the lovin’ of the game

And where I’m goin’ has no end
And what I’m seekin’ has no name
And the treasure’s not the taking
It’s the lovin’ of the game
