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
