The gambler is using poker to give life advice. That's what makes it a good song.

@flibber123 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I always thought it was a metaphor. You never count your money when you're sitting at the table could be advice to not become complacent in life even when times are good. As long as you're alive the game is on and there will be ups and downs. There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done could be a way of saying when you die THEN you can take stock of your life since you'll have all eternity to do it.

A point I like to make about this song. When he says “you never count your money when you’re sitting at the table”, he is speaking in metaphor. It means “In life, your wins and losses are temporary. If you are down, you can come back. If you are flying high, you can come crashing back to earth.”

@jedislap8726 3 жыл бұрын

All of what the Gambler says is a metaphor. That's the point.

@t_man7259 3 жыл бұрын

Although I don't think this is necessarily what this song is about but my grandmother said life itself actually is like gambling not necessarily with cards money or games but with taking chances in life you might succeed and you might failure but you have more chances at certain times. Like when you gamble you might win but you can have more of chance of failure hence every hands a winner and every hands a loser. So gambling can be a metaphor for taken chances and challenges in life.

@OriginalLictre 3 жыл бұрын

Gambling as an analogy for life in general. Know what to value, know what to let go, know when to stop, know when you're over your head. Every situation can hold the potential for advantage or disaster, depending on how it's worked with. But when life's at its end, it's good if you don't panic about it, and passing in your sleep makes that work. When the Gambler "Broke even" in the darkness, he died that night, as Kenny made clear with the line "and in his final words I found an ace that I could keep."

Kenny's biggest hit and signature song. And a GREAT song at that. Kenny was a helluva good singer and songwriter, and I was lucky enough to see him live a couple of times at the annual San Antonio Rodeo, our local annual county fair. I've played a lot of poker in my life, and I always hear this song playing in the back of my head when I do! I will ALWAYS love this song! And I agree, RIP Kenny! You were one of a kind!

Also his beautiful song that his family actually had released about a week after his death called "Goodbye". I'm not sure exactly when he recorded that one but from what I've read and understand, it was recorded not very long before he became so ill and had not yet been released and about a week after his death the record company released it stating that those closest to Kenny wished to share it with his fans. It's a beautiful song as well.
