One Silver Dollar

One silver dollar

Bright silver dollar

Changing hands

Changing handsEndlessly rolling

Wasted and stolen

Changing hands

Changing handsSpent for a beer he's drinking

Won by a gamblers lust

Pierced by an outlaw's bullet

And lost in the blood red dustOne silver dollar

Worn silver dollar

Changing hands

Changing handsLove is a shining dollar

Bright as a church bell's chime

Gambled and spent and wasted

And lost in a dawn of timeOne silver dollar

Worn silver dollar

Changing hearts

Changing lives

Changing hands
