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.
