《The Gambler》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gambler (赌徒) - Maxdown

[00:00:06] About twenty years ago

[00:00:08] On a train bound for nowhere

[00:00:11] Met up with the gambler

[00:00:14] Both too tired to sleep

[00:00:16] So we took turns staring

[00:00:19] At the window at the darkness

[00:00:22] Until boredom overtook us

[00:00:25] He commenced to speak

[00:00:27] He said son I've made a life

[00:00:30] Out of reading people's faces

[00:00:33] And knowing what their cards were

[00:00:35] By the way they held their eyes

[00:00:38] So if you don't mind my saying

[00:00:41] I can see you're out of aces

[00:00:44] For taste of your whiskey

[00:00:46] I will give you some advice

[00:00:50] So I handed him my bottle

[00:00:53] And he drank down my last swallow

[00:00:57] Then he bummed a cigarette

[00:00:59] Then asked me for a light

[00:01:01] And the night got deathly quiet

[00:01:04] And his face lost all expression

[00:01:07] Said if you're going to play the game boy

[00:01:10] Better learn to play it right

[00:01:12] You've got to know when to hold them

[00:01:16] Know when to fold them

[00:01:18] Know when to walk away

[00:01:21] Know when to run

[00:01:23] You ever count your money

[00:01:26] While you're sitting at the table

[00:01:28] There'll be time enough for counting

[00:01:32] When the dealing is done

[00:01:39] Every gambler knows

[00:01:40] That the secret to survival

[00:01:43] Is knowing what to throw away

[00:01:46] And knowing what to keep

[00:01:49] Every hand's a winner

[00:01:52] Every hand's a loser

[00:01:54] And the best that you can hope for

[00:01:57] Is to die in your sleep

[00:01:59] And when he finished speaking

[00:02:02] Turned back toward the window

[00:02:05] Crushed out his cigarette

[00:02:08] Faded off to sleep

[00:02:10] Somewhere in the darkness

[00:02:13] The gambler he broke even

[00:02:15] But in his final words

[00:02:17] I found an ace that I could keep

[00:02:20] You've got to know when to hold them

[00:02:24] Know when to fold them

[00:02:27] Know when to walk away

[00:02:29] Know when to run

[00:02:31] You don't ever count your money

[00:02:34] While you're sitting at the table

[00:02:36] There'll be time enough for counting

[00:02:40] When the dealing is done

[00:02:42] You've got to know when to hold them

[00:02:45] Know when to fold them

[00:02:48] Know when to walk away

[00:02:51] Know when to run

[00:02:52] You don't ever count your money

[00:02:55] While you're sitting at the table

[00:02:58] There'll be time enough for counting

[00:03:01] When the dealing is done

[00:03:03] You've got to know when to hold them

[00:03:06] Know when to fold them

[00:03:09] Know when to walk away

[00:03:12] Know when to run

[00:03:13] You don't ever count your money

[00:03:16] While you're sitting at the table
