One Silver Dollar
One silver dollar, bright silver dollar,
changing hands, changing
hands.
Endlessly rollin', wasted or stolen,
changing hands, changing
hands.
Spent for a beer he's drinking,
won by a gambler's
lust,
pierced by an outlaw's bullet
and rusted in the blood red
dust.
One silver dollar, worn silver dollar,
changing hands, changing
hands,
love is a shining dollar,
bright as a Church bell's
chime
gambled and spent and wasted,
and lost in a dart of time.
One
silver dollar, worn silver dollar,
changing hearts, changing
lives,
changing hands.
