Lovin' Of The Game Lyrics - Jerry Jeff Walker

Pat Garvey 

I watched the feather river glide 

Over shinin' golden sand 

Struck a silver ribbon wide 

Held a million in my hand 

But beside the lookin' for 

The finders always take 

And there's nothin' drives a gambler 

Like the lovin' of the game 

All my life I've searched around 

Travellin' 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 lovin' 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 takin' 

It's the lovin' of the game 

Oh the treasure's not for takin' 

It's the lovin' of the game 

The lovin' of the game
