    "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.

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

    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

    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.

    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.
