I’ve been thinking recently about “The Gambler” written by Don Schlitz and popularized by Kenny Rogers. I don’t think the song as a whole is special, but there’s this line:

“And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even.”

The idea that death is just breaking even – going out with what you brought in – I just have been stuck on that.

So I’m wondering if you have a line from a song that says something that you’d call profound.

If it’s got “booty” or “bitch” in it, it’s probably not what I’m looking for.
