I have not had a chance yet to see "Ghost Rider", but for some reason this song brought him too mind. Funny, I grew up listening to Kenny Rogers and even met him a few times as my adopted parents knew him. Anyways, here is the song, lol.
The Gambler by Kenny Rogers
On a warm summers evenin on a train bound for nowhere, I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep. So we took turns a starin out the window at the darkness til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.
He said, son, Ive made a life out of readin peoples faces, And knowin what their cards were by the way they held their eyes. So if you dont mind my sayin, I can see youre out of aces. For a taste of your whiskey Ill give you some advice.
So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow. Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light. And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression. Said, if youre gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right.
You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.
Now evry gambler knows that the secret to survivin Is knowin what to throw away and knowing what to keep. cause evry hands a winner and evry hands a loser, And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.
So when hed finished speakin, he turned back towards the window, Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep. And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even. But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.
You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count you r money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done

Now Comest The Night Rob Thomas When the hour is upon us And our beauty surely gone No you will not be forgotten No you will not be alone
And when the day has all but ended And our echo starts to fade No you will not be alone then And you will not be afraid No you will not be afraid
When the fog has finally lifted From my cold and tired brow No I will not leave you crying And I will not let you down No I will not let you down I will not let you down
Now comes the night Feel it fading away And the soul underneath Is it all that remains So jus slide over here Leave your fear in the fray Let us hold to each other Till the end of our days
