The Gambler(Live)
On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere
- On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere
- I met up with a gambler
- We were both too tired to sleep
- So we took turns a-starin' out the window at the darkness
- 'Til boredom overtook us and he began to speak
- He said son I've made
- A life out of readin' people's faces
- And knowin' what their cards
- Were by the way they held their eyes
- So if you don't mind my sayin'
- I can see you're out of aces
- For a taste of your whiskey
- I'll give you some advice
- So I handed him my bottle
- And he drank down my last swallow
- Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
- And the night got deathly
- Quiet and his face lost all expression
- Said if you're gonna play the game boy
- You gotta learn to play it right
- You got to know when to
- Hold 'em know when to fold 'em
- Know when to walk away and know when to run
- You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
- There'll be time enough for
- Countin' when the dealing's done
- Every gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
- Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep
- 'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser
- And the best you can
- Hope for is to die in your sleep
- And when he finished speakin'
- He turned back towards the window
- Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep
- And somewhere in the darkness
- The gambler he broke even
- But in his final words
- I found an ace that I could keep
- You got to know when to
- Hold 'em know when to fold 'em
- Know when to walk away and know when to run
- You never count your money
- When you're sittin' at the table
- There'll be time enough for
- Countin' when the dealing's done
- You got to know when to hold 'em
- When to hold 'em
- Know when to fold 'em
- When to fold 'em
- Know when to walk away know when to run
- You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
- There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done
