Busy Signal - The Gambler (Official Visual)

“The Gambler” was originally written by Don Schlitz in 1976.
The song became famous after Kenny Rogers made his version in 1978, which turned it into a huge country crossover hit.

The song uses the metaphor of gambling (cards, “holding ‘em,” “folding,” etc.) to give advice about life.
Some key themes:
Knowing when to take risks versus when to get out of a situation.
Recognizing that life has ups and downs — sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
Accepting uncertainty and having the wisdom to make decisions under pressure.
Realizing that you can’t always plan when to count your wins — there is a time for reflection, a time for action.
