On a warm summers evening, on a train bound for nowhere

[Art]

I met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep.

[PhilpotHunter]

So we took turns a-starin' out the window at the darkness.

[stanmanhale]

boredom over took us and he began to speak

[PhilpotHunter]

He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces.

[stanmanhale]

knowing what thier cards were, by the way they held thier eyes

[PhilpotHunter]

So if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces,

[stanmanhale]

for a taste of your whiskey i will give you some advise

[PhilpotHunter]

So I handed him my bottle, and he drank down my last swallow.

[stanmanhale]

then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light

[ecmbowhunter]

and the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression

[plowboy]

damn, yall are good...:)

[BearsBud]

he said "if your gonna play the game boy, ya gotta learn to play it right".

[stanmanhale]

you got to know when to hold them

[PhilpotHunter]

know when to fold 'em

[GSP]

Know when to walk away....

[AteUp]

...and know when to run.

[GSP]

You never count your money

[AteUp]

while you're sittin at the table.

[GSP]

There will be time enough for counting

[AteUp]

When the dealing's done.

[stanmanhale]

now every gambler knows that the secret to surviving

[AteUp]

Is knowin what to throw away and knowin what to keep.

[C.L.Button]

You better count your blessings,,,

[stanmanhale]

cause every hands a winner and every hands a loser

[AteUp]

And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.

[stanmanhale]

when he finished speaking turned back toward the window

[DoeMaster]

crushed out his cigarette

[stanmanhale]

and faded off to sleep

[ecmbowhunter]

and somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even

[maxcam]

but in his final words I found an ace that I could keep....

[nitrox28]

Outstanding!! :D

[PhilpotHunter]

You've got to know when to hold 'em

[stanmanhale]

[PhilpotHunter]

Know when to walk away

[lab]

[Lil Gsp]

You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table.

[Monster-Chaser]

There will be time enough for counting, when the dealing is done.

[Lil Gsp]

[RUTNUT]

On A Long Lonesome Highway, East Of Omaha

[C.L.Button]

I ran over an Ardvark and cut my right front tire,,,

[Auk1124]

When the tire blew out I bit my tongue and swallowed my Skoal,

[raktrakr]

[maxcam]

you can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before....:eek:

[C.L.Button]

So here I am,,,

[maxcam]

[BearsBud]

[GSP]

There I go, playing songs again......

[maxcam]

There I go, turn the paaaage......

[RUTNUT]

Well You Walk Into A Resturant, Strung Out From The Road...

[raktrakr]

[BDT]

sometimes you can't hear them talk, other times you can
