Kenny Rogers - The Gambler
[00:04.95] On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere
[00:10.27] I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep
[00:15.32] So we took turns a-starin' out the window at the darkness
[00:20.89] 'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak
[00:25.93] He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces
[00:31.44] And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes
[00:36.75] So, if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces
[00:42.23] For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice"
[00:48.60] So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow
[00:55.15] Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
[00:59.93] And the night got deathly quiet and his face lost all expression
[01:05.24] Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy
[01:07.90] You gotta learn to play it right"
[01:10.56] You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
[01:16.66] Know when to walk away and know when to run
[01:21.44] You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
[01:27.02] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done
[01:37.12] Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
[01:42.69] Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep
[01:47.48] 'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser
[01:53.32] And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep

[01:59.06] And when he finished speakin'
[02:01.46] He turned back towards the window
[02:04.65] Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep
[02:09.96] And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even
[02:15.80] But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep
