The Gambler, by Kenny Rogers.
This song is one I’ve heard a thousand times, but, as usual, for whatever reason, I am transported to one particular evening in the first house I lived in as a kid, but after the studio addition was built, but after that room had been converted into the TV room, after mom’s first retail storefront studio had been built out, etc., but we still had the old brown radio tuner and speakers (though the 8-track had been retired) in the old wall unit, I think. So it must’ve been playing on Love 94, though it seems unusual we had the radio on at night. That’s how I remember it.
