The old man gave him life advice using gambling references. He saw the young man troubled. When the old man faded off to sleep he died. The advice was the ace that the young man could keep.
Yep! The gambler died and broke even.
LOL! They said he cheated! They weren't even playing cards! Just talking! 🤣🤣🤣
@@cano21 I kinda thought they missed that too. Totally missed the ending ....
Nice explanation Donna! Hope that helps them.
@@ellavader4411 A lot of people nowadays miss the meaning of the song, short attention span combined with making sure things don't get too deep is the way to go now.
"Somewhere in the darkness, the Gambler he broke even" [The old Gambler died in his sleep]
"But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep" [The old man's advice was about life as well as gambling]
I agree.......
This song is really a song about life. The advice given by the old man is applicable to real life.
Right on
Yeah I dont know what they were thinking
Exactly!!
The song is about handling what life gives you, what some would call "playing the hand you're dealt."
exactly this song isn't about gambling
Exactly. This is how I basically deal with life as a whole.
Play the hand you're dealt, and remember that sometimes, a good bluff can be the winning hand.
It's all metaphors. The gambler is giving him life advices.
Lessons he learned presumably very late in life as he had to drink the guy's whiskey, bum a cigarette, and didn't have a lighter to light it. He learned those lessons the hard way.
The Gambler died in his sleep but his advice was much deeper than gambling at a table he was talking about applying the lessons of gambling to all aspects of life.
That's it, the gambling table is a metaphore for life
Exactly 💯
yall killing me this song went right over your heads, its not about gambling at all
He’s talking about the Ace as being the Lesson he learned, to take with him to keep!
In his final words I've found an ace that I could keep was a metaphorical ace, a learned lesson to help him further in life. The whole song is more metaphor than literal.
More Kenny: "Coward of the County"
He “breaks even”, he dies in his sleep. “In his FINAL words I found an ace that I could keep “.
Check out Kenny singing "Lady", to hear the full range and emotion of his voice.
This song has nothing to do with gambling. It's a reference to life. The old gambler died and broke even in his sleep.
The ace he could keep was referencing the information the gambler was giving him, Something useful.
Did “broke even” mean he died? That’s what I was told years ago when I first heard it.
Start over. The "ace that I could keep" was the wisdom in the old gambler's advice.
The Gambler passed away in his sleep. "The gambler he broke even and in his final words I found an ace that I could keep."
He's not actually talking about gambling, he's talking about life.
The gambler was teaching him "life lessons". He was using gambling metaphors to teach him about life, because life is a game and a gamble. eg - knowing what to throw away or keep is the life choices we make.
Being a vocalist I highly recommend you listen to Kenny sing “Lady” which was written by Lionel Ritchie. You both will love it.
Kenny had such a good voice, so versatile.
The gambler died in his sleep and his advice was the ace he could keep
This is advice not only for gambling but for life.
Beat me to it
this video was so popular they made 5 made-for-TV movies based on this character. I've watched them all and love them all. the "extra ace" is the knowledge.
Storytelling in music, especially with a point or message, is a lost art today, or at least rare.
so not true, youre listening to the wrong music, pop isnt everything theres plenty of amazing bands and musicians today
No, the gambler passed away in his sleep, but he gave him an ace he could keep, meaning good advice
The Ace is his advice to help him in life. Thx Kenny
This was huge when I was in middle school. Back then, everyone loved both kinds of music, Country and Western. ;-)
I don't think this was about what it is to cheat. The Gambler died in his sleep but before dying he gave Kenny's character an ace in the advice he gave him.
Life is like a gambling game, choices we make affects us. Knowing who to trust and who to leave behind to progress to better things. The Ace is wisdom.
The ace that I can keep is referring to the advice that the old Gambler gave to him. The old Gambler turned back towards the window and died in his sleep. But he left him an ace that he can keep, and it was that good advice, know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, know when to run etc.. Great video you two!
The song is a metaphor for life. Knowing what to do with what life throws at you.
The gambling part for the cards is just a metaphor for life
Kenny rogers lady is a great song that you should listen to, and the ace he could keep was some advice a life lesson that the gambler gave him. If you play dominoes long enough you'll be able to tell what dominoes haven't been play, you just have to learn the dominoes
Poker was a metaphor for life. Everyone is dealt a hand of cards when they're born. You can turn them into a winning hand or a losing hand. The gambler did the best that he hope for by dying in his sleep. The ace he could keep was the life advice he'd just gotten from the gambler. They were not playing cards. You don't know exactly who someone is (what hand they're holding), but a wise person can read another person and so knows how to play their "cards."
Kenny is the Man! Grew up listening to him know every word to every song!😍👏RIP🙏💗
"There'll be time enough for counting when the dealing's done." You will only know what kind of life you've lived when it's over. Until then, know what to keep in your life and know what to get rid of. Know when you can walk away from something that's wrong or bad for you and know when to run. Don't ever judge your life by the minute you're in because it will change.
My favorite Kenny Rogers era was the 60's when he was with The First Edition. If you like this one then give a listen to "Tell It All Brother" and "Somethings Burning" the studio versions...such soulful songs.
the ace that he could keep was the knowledge that some things matter and other things don't. failure is a part of success. we must learn from our failures but still drive on and not give up.
The Gambler was giving advice on life. The Gambler died in his sleep and Ace he (Kenny) was talking about a lesson/advice he keep forever.
Guys this song ain’t about cards. It’s about life. Listen to it again. It’s a metaphor
One of my most vivid memories of my father when he was alive was sitting down in his chair after work, sparking up a cigar and playing this album every single night…Obviously I have a huge love for Kenny Rodgers
The song is more about life advice than gambling. It's about looking at the things you are offered throughout life and gauging whether it's something good (hold 'em), bad (fold 'em), really bad (know when to walk away), or horrible (know when to run). And "don't count your money when you're sitting at the table" means "don't count on easy wins" e.g. looking at the bets on the table and assuming it's already yours, as well as "don't flaunt what you've got, it makes you a target.". "Knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep" is about the people in your life. But, the line is also tied in with "every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser" which reminds you to be cautious about who you push out of your life because there may come a time where someone you've pushed away comes through in a pinch that really saves your bacon.
He is saying the gambler died. In his final words I found an ace that I could keep, meaning his advice.
The old man said that the best a person could hope for was to die in your sleep. That was just what the old gambler did, there on the train as he slept, he passed away. What the singer got from that entire lesson was whatever he could make of it in his own life.
I always knew from the first time I heard this that the Gambler died in his sleep, and the ace was the wisdom/advice her had given the singer. But, I often overlooked the advice, thinking it was mostly about poker. More recently, I've thought about how knowing what goals to pursue, and what goals to put down (not follow) is SUPER important in life. Also, not "counting your money at the table" is, in my view, about not "keeping score" while you are alive, or worrying about "success" as perceived by others, NOR should one brag or act like they have it all figured out - but we should all just do the best we can, and enjoy life in the PRESENT - to enjoy the game WHILE WE PLAY IT - and only after we die should we reflect back on how we scored overall.
Fun Fact: There is a golf course in Florida, Arnold Palmer’s Kings North, that has a hole called the Gambler, and it has Kenny’s footprints in cement on the tee box. It’s a tough one that lets you play it safe or “gamble” and go for an island fairway.
Have loved this song since I was a little kid, even before he performed it on The Muppet Show. 😉
about time you got to this... OMG the man himself, RIP Kenny
It is amazing how many different ways you can view this song.
When he says the guy broke even that's in reference to his death and also the balance of his life with the good in the bad. There's a long-standing school of thought about yin and yang and how in the life of any being you're going to have a number of good days and a number of bad days and that number is going to be somewhat balanced when you die. But it also refers to everything having a beginning, having an end. So he owed a death because he was given life and now that circle was completed. That's also breaking even. Also in the song when he says don't count your money at the table, that's about not getting caught up in the materialistic part of life because you're living, you have to pay attention to that. They take care of everything when you die so just live and be alive. Kenny Rogers is the man. But music is so relative to the listener it can become whatever you associate it with. That's why music is so universal. I can say in my mind he found $10 on the floor and that's what it meant lol why not I want that guy to still be alive
The song is part of the soundtrack to the movie The Gambler, staring Kenny Rodgers. The movie has been available on TubiTV.
There is a series of 5 movies that Kenny starred in; all based around this song. Also, Coward of the County movie, starring Kenny--also based around one of his songs by the same name.
When he says and when he finished speaking he turned back towards a window crush. A cigarette and faded off to sleep and somewhere in the darkness he faded off to sleep passed away. The ace is the knowledge that he got from the guys talkin to him. The guy gave him some college knowledge about life.
the ace he could keep was Wisdom of the game, Real Gamblers don't have to cheat. you really need the watch the movies, The Gambler, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, Kenny Rogers stared in them..
I absolutely LOVE this channel! You keep doing all these different genres of music. It's a whirlwind and it's AWESOME!
The "ace that he could keep" means the advice that he got before the gambler died.
A short time before he died Kenny did a video with Home Free- Children Go Where I Send Thee and it shows even as old as he was, he still had it!!
No, he was saying he was given some advice by The Gambler that he could keep. That it was top-notch advice like an ace.
You can't listen to Country music and take it so 100% literal. This song is a metaphor for life, not a lesson on how to play actual poker. The old gambler was dealing out life wisdom, and dies in his sleep, right there on the train.
I love you guys but you totaly missed the boat on this one! I had to switch to my computer to straighten things out for you... The gambler is giving him advice on poker AND life! The game of poker is a metaphor for life. We are all dealt a hand that can be a winning or losing hand depending on how we play our cards. We have to know when to fold them or hold them, when to walk away from a game even to run if necessary. (Basically we need to make good decisions in life.) YOu never count your money when you're sitting at the table means. We don't get cockey, we don't take life for granted or assume we know it all. We don't judge our circumstances or anybody else's because you never know until the end what the final result will be. It is only when the dealing is done (When our life is over.) that we will know the truth about it all. Whether we played the game well or not and then we can count the spoil and enjoy it. HOpe you do more Kenny!
Ace that he could keep meaning knowledge that he could keep as a gambler follow the eyes you can tell a tell when you see it
As others have said the song is a metaphor for life and life's lessons all being told through poker metaphors. Basically he's saying your life is what you make it of it, you control your destiny, don't get hung up on every little thing because the only time you need to recollect every detail is at the end of your life and the best way to go out is in your sleep.
The song actually isn’t about gambling at all.... it’s a metaphor for life.
The ace is a metaphor for the lesson he learned from what he told him. The Gambler faded off to sleep.. he passed away in his sleep which is what he always hoped for.
The "ace he could keep" was the advice he gave him. The song is an analogy. The card game isn't poker, it's life. When he says "somewhere in the darkness, the gambler, he broke even" that was the gambler passing away in his sleep.
When the guy sat down he was out of aces. In other words, he was down in life and ready to give up and the gambler noticed. So the gambler taught him in life every situation is a winning hand or a losing hand depending what you do with it. No point in fretting (don't count your money when you're sitting at the table) because we are going to win and lose until we die (when the dealing is done). The gambler gave him a different way to look at his situation before he died. That was the ace he could keep.
Wow!.. I've never seen two people completely miss the point of this song as much as you two just did! 😂
Love the channel and when i was a kid i took this song literally but really it's about life. You have to know when to take risks and when to walk away from things in life and the old gambler gave him advice that he could use. That was the ace. I listen to a lot of country music and iys full of double meanings. Love yall energy and interaction!
No, y'all missed the meaning of this one. It was a life lesson, not just a poker lesson. "Somewhere in the darkness, the gambler, he broke even..." The gambler died. "...but in his final words, I found an ace that I could keep." I learned a lesson.
B4 THE OLD MAN PASSED IN HIS SLEEP HE GAVE KENNY A JEWEL/ACE THAT HE CAN KEEP....BECAUSE KNOWLEDGE IS KING...GET IT?
Similar to how Kenny died in real life.
Great singing + acting. 🤠
Suggested next video: Crazy. Written by Kenny + Richatd Marx. Yes, the writet + ainger of Right Here Waiting + cowriter with Keith Urban 🇦🇺 of 4 songs! 🤯
This song's lyrics works both metaphorically and literally. Some people think it just metaphors only but it's wisdom applies to both gambling and life in general.
NO, The old gambler passed away in his sleep. The Ace is Knowledge!
Any he also has a duet with Dolly Parton That is considered the number one country duet of all time island in the stream And it was written and produced by the beegees
Ace was a piece of advice to keep for life
Asia u had it right, it’s about two men talking on a train, and 1 man telling another man life lessons through poker references!!!!!
You MUST react to “Lady.” You will appreciate his range and style.
The song has a double meaning.. 1st is about cards.. 2nd is about life and how you live it.. "When the dealing is done" refers to when your dying and that is when you "count your money" meaning were you a good person(win) or bad person(lose)..
Gambling is just a metaphor in this song. The deep meaning of this song really has NOTHING to do with playing poker. The old man on the train was giving him valuable life lessons, just using gambling terminology to explain it.
Nothing to do with poker? It applies to poker and life, and he knows that and so uses his experience at the table and applies what is also useful off the table.
Wow dominoes, I was 17 and the dishwasher at work walked me into a black bar and I LEARNED dominoes. While I'll never go back to Texas that is one my favorite memories, here is a hint I'm turning 53 on September 7.
The ace is symbolic for the info he just picked up!
None of this had to do with cards... It was LIFE lessons that the gambler passed on to the young man before HE "passed on" in his sleep. Everything in this song is a metaphor. 😉
No, you misunderstood. He died in the end. He had faded off to sleep & somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he 'broke even, but in his final words I found an Ace that I could keep, He meant the advice, was the 'Ace' that he could keep.' Ya gotta know when to hold 'em etc.
He’s not talking about gambling. The old man died in his sleep. Kennedy’s ace in the hole was the old man advice
Coward of The County is a great Kenny songs ! Kenny is onebof the GOATS in Country!!
Kenny Rogers " coward of the county" is one of his best
WOW ..You totally missed that! LOL The old drifted off to sleep and died. The song is about life. The poker game is just a metaphor. Dang…..lol
I have nothing but LOVE for the two of you. I absolutely NEED reactions like this, just to get me through. God bless.
The song is about gambling as a metaphor but it's really about handling your life situations. Like don't tip your hand to people who are your adversary's, don't be counting your winnings as someone might might be taking advantage of you while your preoccupied and of course know when step back and walk away from a situation you can't win.. Life lessons!!
This could be also taken as a metaphor for life. You have to play your cards in life right. Think the song said that Kenny got one advice from the old gambler that he could keep as a advice...aka known when to hold em and know when to fold em.
The gambler died in his sleep. The ace he could keep was the advice.
Old school country music
This song uses gambling as a metaphor for the choices made in life.
The gamblers final words reflect how our decisions will affect our life.
And after everything die peacefully.
Heavy shit lol
The entire song is a metaphor for life
He died but Kenny learned a life lesson. The Ace was a metaphor for the lesson he learned. Awesome
Love your reactions. Lady and Ruby are also great songs from Kenny
My favorite Kenny Rogers Song.. Video was Nice.. no props just Kenny
Kenny's gambling advice is on point...based! and the ace to keep is an inheritance or the smart money your SUPPOSED to be putting aside. LOL
Its a metaphor for life.
"In his final words...I found an Ace that I could keep"...means that the listener found words of wisdom...an "Ace" that he could keep
In his final words I found an ace that I could keep. The line explains itself.
