The Loving of the Game lyrics
by Steve Goodman
[Verse 1]
I saw the feather river glide
Over shining golden sand
Struck a silver ribbon wide
Held a million in my hand
But beside the lookin' for
Well the finding's always tame
And there's nothing drives a gambler
Like the lovin' of the game
[Verse 2]
All my life I ran around
Searching hard from town to town
But I never ever found
Anything to tie me down
Still I wouldn't trade my time
For a solid diamond claim
No, I would not trade a fortune
For the lovin' of the game
[Verse 3]
So long, darling, don't you cry
I hope that things pan out for you
All the good times going by
Got to have ourselves a few
Where I'm going has no end
What I'm seeking has no name
No, the treasure's not the takin'
It's the lovin' of the game
No, the treasure's not the takin'
It's the lovin' of the game
