《Loser》歌词

[00:03:10] On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere

[00:03:10] I met up with the gambler, we were both too tired to sleep

[00:03:10] So we took turns a-starin' out the window at the darkness

[00:03:10] 'Till boredom overtook us, and he began to speak

[00:03:10] He said, "son, I've made my life out of readin' people's faces

[00:03:10] And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes

[00:03:10] So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces

[00:03:10] For a taste of your whiskey, I'll give you some advice"

[00:03:10] So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow

[00:03:10] Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light

[00:03:10] And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression

[00:03:10] Said, "if you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right

[00:03:10] You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

[00:03:10] Know when to walk away and know when to run

[00:03:10] You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table

[00:03:10] There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done

[00:03:10] Now ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'

[00:03:10] Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep

[00:03:10] 'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and every hand's a loser

[00:03:10] And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep"

[00:03:10] So when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window

[00:03:10] Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep

[00:03:10] And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler, he broke even

[00:03:10] But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep

[00:03:10] You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em

[00:03:10] Know when to walk away and know when to run
