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
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
