Kenny Rogers - The gambler

Tekst :

On a warm summers evening, on a train bound for nowhere
I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns at staring out the window at the darkness
The boredom overtook us and he began to speak
He said, son I ve made a life out of reading people s faces
And knowing what the 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
Chorus:
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 dealin s done
Every gambler knows that the secret to survive is
Knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep
Cos every hand s a winner and every hand s a loser
And the best that you can hope for is that I end asleep
And when he finished speakin , he turned back for the window
Crushed out the cigarette, 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
chorus repeats 3x

Inne utwory

  • What about me
  • There you go again
  • Daytime friends
  • The heart of the matter
  • This woman
  • Love is strange
  • Love lifted me
  • Love will turn you around
  • Through the years
  • Ruby
  • The best of me
  • Long arm of the law
  • Reuben James
  • I am the greatest
  • She rides wild horses
  • Losowe utwory

    The law

    How many times did you call me
    And I knew it was late
    I left everybody
    But I never went straight
    I don t claim to be guilty
    But I do understand
    There s a Law, there s an Arm, there s a Hand...

    Mademoiselle chante le blues

    Y en a qui élèvent des gosses au fond d?un H.L.M.
    Y en a qui roulent leurs bosses du Brésil en Ukraine
    Y en a qui font la noce du côté d?Angoulême
    Et y?en a qui en peuvent plus de jouer les sex-symbols
    Y?en a qui...

    He said she said

    Its just one a those days when you dont wanna wake up
    Everything is fucked, everybody sucks
    You dont really know why, but you wanna justify
    Rrippin someones head off
    No human contact, and if you interact your life is on contract
    Your best bet...

    Ciągle niedostępna

    Jak senpojawiła się
    Gdzieś przypadkiem obok mnie
    Choć wiemto był środek dnia
    Wszystko w sen zmieniło się
    W ten dzień
    Wszystko miało być
    Bez zmian bez przejść
    Jak lęk
    Ogarnęła mnie
    Jak strach jak dreszcz
    Co dzień
    Teraz szukam...

    Podaruj mi

    Jeszcze się nie stało nic

    Jeszcze świat na dłoni

    Jeszcze mi się tylko śnisz

    A już serce płonie

    Wiatr nie porwie mnie

    I nie zmyje deszcz

    Będę od kiedy chcesz



    Podaruj mi sny

    miesiące i dni

    podaruj już dziś

    cudowną przyszłość

    A ja oddam Ci

    miesiące i dni

    magiczne sny

    i miłość



    Nie policzę ile dróg

    Jest już poza nami

    Gdzie nas porymował Bóg

    Ani gdzie my sami

    Ważne...
