"Every gambler knows / That the secret to survivin' / Is knowin' what to throw away / And knowin' what to keep. 'Cause every hand's a winner / And every hand's a loser / And the best that you can hope for / is to die in your sleep."

Note: The Gambler gives this advice to his fellow rail car passenger, who narrates the song, and in the next verse relates that the gambler then went to sleep, and that "somewhere in the darkness / The gambler he broke even / But in his final words / I found an ace that I could keep".
