Coward of the County is another good song from Kenny Rogers.

I think the word you may be looking for is metaphor. Kenny is using poker advice as a metaphor for life.

"Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town" is one of Kenny's best. Poignant story of a war veteran.

"Somewhere in the darkness, the Gambler he broke even." RIP Kenny. such a good song about life and filled with some many metaphors and analogies.

"She Believes in Me", "Through The Years", "Love The World Away", "You Decorated My Life". Great love songs.

This song was so successful, Kenny took on the role of the gambler in several TV movies based on the song.

Kenny Rogers does a lot of storytelling in his music . RIP Kenny. Another one of his greats is “coward of the county “ . “Jolene “ is one of Dollys greatest also . It’s great To see you guys touching all music genres

Your one of the few reactors that actually understood he was talking about life (double entendre), great reaction ❤️

Kenny Rogers songs " Coward Of The County " IS MY FAVORITE Much meaning to that song! -- "Lucille" -- "She Believes In Me" -- "You and I" -- "We've got tonight" - "Daytime Friend" & soooooo many more thanks for bringing Country to your channel!!!!!!! Love You Fam 💚💚💚

Yeah, like you said, this is a big theme in country music, to make simple sounding lyrics, that are really about something else. The Gambler isn't telling him how to play poker; he is telling him how to live his life.

Enjoyed the reaction! Sang along the whole time! He is talking about life for sure. Keep up these great song reactions!

One of my favorite songs by Dolly Parton is "Jolene". If you haven't already reacted to that one, please do so when you can.

"The Greatest" is another great song by him with a great message.

I love this lady's reaction. You can tell she is focused with an open mind and i think a true music lover. Kenny rogers "coward of the county" is another good story with good morals

Double entendre is the expression you were looking for, words that have 2 meanings. And, yes the card game is a metaphor for life.

My mum is a big country fan and so i know a lot songs of Kenny Rodgers but first time i hear and understand the lyrics. Greetings from Germany

"Lucille", "Coward Of The County" are some other great Kenny Rogers songs to check out!

He's giving great life advice. Great song ❤

He’s making an analogy. He’s talking about cards… but he is really talking about life. It’s a beautiful piece of storytelling.

Home Free did an absolutely stunning acapella cover of this as a tribute to Kenny after his death. They also did a collaboration WITH Kenny on “Children go where I send thee”

Willy Nelson. Great country..lovelovelove ❤️✌🏻🌸

Ray Charles got into country music in the later part of his singing career. He said he loved the stories. He also did a duet with Willie Nelson that is fantastic when you are in the mood for country again. "Seven Spanish Angels." Willie seems almost nervous to be on stage with such a legend.

Sir I grew up in the country right next to the rocky mountains of Montana, yesvwecare pure 100? country. We love the old country songs. Lots of love, an fighting men an women there. God gave us life to live in the country an I thank him every day every heart beat.

React to Lut Gaye. Based on a true story and gets me every time. Bout a hitman and a bride

Kenny actually starred in a series of TV movies called The Gambler. This video was directly related to it.

Its also a movie Kenny Rogers did - The Gambler

Its a metaphor for life...."you gotta know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, and know when to run"

Classic song. It’s all about life. ❤️. Life lessons.

One of the best R.I.P will ever be other great singer like him

just so you know...Kenny Rogers was a country star...but...a lot of his music was played on rock and roll stations..plus his music hit the billboard chart countdowns for rock....he was one of the only stars who crossed over the lines a number of times..and a ton of awards

I wish that I could hurt that way again great song by Kenny Rogers

I’ve never heard a Kenny Rogers song I didn’t like ❤️

Talk about Dolly. You should listen to "I will always love you. (WHITNEY had covered it)

Before he turned Country, Kenny Rogers and the First Edition did a song "Check What Condition My Condition Was In". I've heard it described as Acid Rock, but I have no idea what that means.

React to Tim McGraw "Don't Take the Girl."

Check out The Highwaymen, Highwayman. Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, and Waylon Jennings a supergroup of the best country artists.

Reckless you’ve got a pretty good mind and way of thinking. I’ve heard some of these songs you do for years and you point shit out that I’ve never noticed. Thanks

ONE OF THE BEST STORY TELLERS IN THE BUSINESS.....HE IS MISSED. RIP KENNY!

KENNY - "Coward of the County" 🤙

Your next Kenny Rogers reaction video you do should be "The Coward Of The County" and just like "The Gambler" they were both made into made for TV Movies. And another Country artist you really should react to is Hank Williams Jr "Family Tradition" and if you do, react to the live performance!!

Lessons not just for card game but the game of Life. Good advice in this ballad.

Middle school. Riding to school with Mom playing Kenny Roger's greatest hits. Good times. lol I still know all of these songs by heart.

It’s a metaphor for life

They did a TV movie based on this song with Kenny. Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition and When I get where I'm going by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton

Kenny was a freakin legend

fun fact! my grandmother went to highschool with kenny :D her name was martina Vandrunen(Dohanich) now but small world. great reaction my guy!

Kenny was played on both country and pop!

It’s actually a metaphor for life! You got it right!

Kenny had some great songs. This one and "Coward of the County" have always been my two favorites. For Dolly, "Wind Beneath My Wings", "I will Always Love You", and "9 to 5".

Double entendre ..Coward of the County by Kenny is a great one

the advice from the gambler about the game is a metaphor for the game of life. I believe that old gambler drifted off to sleep, he broke even....he passed away.

Check out "Twenty years ago" very emotional song as well as "The last ten years" by Kenny

rip to him

Rest in peace Kenny Rogers

RIP to a legend. Kenny was one of the best. Great reaction guys... love it when young people find and understand some of the greater parts of music history.

RIP for a legend in music AND movies!! Love Kenny Rogers!!!! 😉❤✌🏼

Metaphor… The game is a metaphor for life.

Love Kenny. So many beautiful songs

I think the word you were looking for is “metaphor.” The song is a metaphor for life. “Every hand’s a winner and every hand’s a loser” is such a great line/life lesson. You see people with with every privilege in life squander it, and you see people rise above terrible circumstances in life. It’s all about what we do with what we’ve been given.

Kenny Roger also had a tv show called The Gambler.

Just dropped in - Kenny Rogers

Check out Don William's Tulsa time and I believe in you ! Charlie Richs The most beautiful girl in the world, behind closed doors, Rollin with the flow or good time Charlie's got the blues. Pirates of the Mississippi's Feed Jake!

Wyclef Jean also did a remix of this song... with Kenny! Soooo kick ass.

This is a metaphor for life in general.

It's a metaphor for life. Make sure to watch the movie The Gambler starring Kenny Rogers!

Lady was written by Lionel Ritchie. The later version with Kenny and Lionel is great. You can see the admiration and friendship the two of them have for each other.

The song is a Metaphor for life, I have also heard people refer to a metaphor as "a Double" meaning it has a double meaning to it.

next one from Kenny Rogers - Coward of the county .. 😎👍🎶

Its a allegory for life.

I saw him in concert with Dolly Parton! He's one of my favorites!

...ehh, I think the word you are speaking of is 'simile' ..either way gotsta love some Kenny Rogers. ..and his wholesome, warm, and inviting tones. ..stellar reaction as usual. ..always a smile watching you 2 and your playful chemistry

One of the all timers

Coward if the County is my favorite Kenny Rogers song. You should check it out.

'Coward of the County' was a Kenny Rogers banger. If you ain't heard it, you ain't heard nothing.

I always watch her reaction

Amazing legend!!!😍❣️.... check out his song "coward of the county "👍👍

Always up for more Dolly Parton she was my first crush when I was a kid. I saw her on SNL in the the 80s and realized wow... women sure are hot

It’s so nice to see young adults appreciate the music I grew up on! Much love! ❤️

Another pretty good country artist is Darryl Worley, you should check out his songs Have you Forgotten, Tennessee River Run and Family Tree

Timeless…yes Poker is a great metaphor for living life.

Gotta do coward of the county bro the legend mr Kenny rogers kills that one

As stated below, it's a metaphor for life.

Love Kenny Rogers gotta plsten to Planet Texas, and Something Inside So Strong

The word is metaphor

Double entendre A double entendre is a literary device, phrase, and/or figure of speech that has multiple meanings or interpretations. It is any statement or allusion that can be understood in different ways. These phrases are created with the explicit purpose of having two meanings.

My dad was 90 and died in his sleep. Best that you can hope for.

He's using the game of poker as an analogy for life.

"Jolene" by Dolly Parton is the one that leaps to my mind first when I hear her name. I can *feel* it.

Kinda pop. I had the 45 of the Gambler when I was eight. Coward of the County is a popular Kenny Rodgers song. They are using the analogy of Poker to represent life.

you need to check out Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In before Kenny Rogers went to country music

It's a metaphor comparing poker/card playing to what is important in life.

The best of the older country singers like Kenny George Jones Willie Nelson Dolly etc is that they're storytellers

Hey Guys… I don’t like Rap or Hop Hop at ALL!! But Jelly Roll played on a the Grand Ol Opry and he got pretty emotional being there and playing… maybe check it out sometime…

my favorite Kenny Rogers songs are Buy me a Rose and The Greatest .....Please check those out

"I will always love you" was originally a Dolly Parton song. As for Kenny Rogers, try "Coward of the County".

You should watch the movie. It’s a serie of 4-5 movies, who all describe a normal situation of life.

Turn the Page by Bob Seger would be a good follow up to this song.
