lirik lagu loser – kenny rogers
on a warm summer’s evenin’ on a train bound for nowhere
i met up with the 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 my 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 b-mmed 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, ya 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 dealin’s done
now ev’ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin’
is knowin’ what to throw away and knowing what to keep
’cause ev’ry hand’s a winner and ev’ry hand’s a loser
and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep”
so when he’d 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 dealin’s done
