40 Best Songs of All Times About Poker, Dice, Cards and Addiction
40. Go Down Gamblin’ - Blood Sweat and Tears
Released in 1971, Go Down Gamblin’ by Blood Sweat and Tears is a song describing a gambler who is “born a natural loser.” He never wins, no matter what game he plays, but, he doesn’t feel like a loser. As the song goes – “Cause I've been called a natural lover by that lady over there, Honey, I'm just a natural gambler but I try to do my share.”
39. Gambler - Madonna
Gambler is a song written and played by Madonna, made for the film Vision Quest. Although the song reached the top 10 in the charts of the UK, Australia, Belgium, Ireland, Netherlands, and Norway, Madonna performed it only once on her 1985The Virgin Tour. It’s a catchy song, we suggest you play it as you spin the reels of some of your favourite retro online slots.
38. The House of the Rising Sun - The Animals
Our list wouldn’t be complete without the 1964 hit song - The House of the Rising Sun by The Animals. Everybody knows the famous lines ”My mother, she was a tailor, sewed these new blue jeans, my father was a gamblin' man way down in New Orleans.” This single had a major success and made it to the top 10 songs on mainstream rock radio stations in the USA. Likewise, the hit was featured in the video game Guitar Hero Live.
37. The Winner Takes It All - ABBA
Whether we admit it or not, we all love at least some songs played by the very well-known Swedish pop group, ABBA. According to some sources, Bjorn Ulvaeus wrote the 1980 hit song The Winner Takes It All which was inspired by his divorce to his fellow band member, Agnetha Fältskog. The winner takes it all is a sort of a comparison to a divorce (especially the part ”I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too, nothing more to say, no more ace to play”), where one of them is the winner and the other one is left with nothing. And things are just the same when it comes to gambling, so we’ve decided to put the song on our list.
36. Shape of my Heart - Sting
We’re all aware of the fact that our gambling behaviour can be influenced by certain types of music and that's because online gambling and music go hand in hand. So, we suggest you start playing your preferred games with one of everyone’s favourite songs by Sting called The Shape of my Heart. It was released in 1993 and used for the end credits of the film Léon. In one of his interviews, Sting explained that the lyrics of the song tell the story of a card player who places bets not in order to win but to figure out something that’s been bothering him - “some kind of scientific, almost religious law.”
35. All I Wanna Do Is Play Cards - Corb Lund
“Well, I guess I really oughta be makin up songs but all I wanna do is play cards. I know it's dumb and sick and wrong but all I wanna do is play cards. Got the studio booked in Tennessee, and my record producer's callin me, the tape will roll in just three weeks and all I wanna do is play cards.” Does it sound familiar? It’s a 2005 hit by Corb Lund called All I Wanna Do Is Play Cards, once you hear it you’ll be playing it on repeat.
34. Gambling Man - The Overtones
When you’re falling in love, it’s perfectly normal to feel like you want to gamble everything just to attract that person’s attention to notice you and love you back. Well, Gambling Man is a lively 2010 song that tells a story of a guy fascinated with his love, so he places all his bets on her, as the song goes - “I played my hand, I rolled the dice, now I'm paying for my sins, I got some bad addiction.” This time, he feels that this love affair is different from any other – “Baby, it's you, yeah, yeah, that's right.” The song was released in 2010 and has been popular ever since.
33. Poker Face - Lady Gaga
Although the Poker Face song is more about the game of romance rather than the game of poker, the catchy refrain that starts with “Can't read my, no he can't read my poker face” kinda reminds us of winning at the tables, so we couldn’t skip it this time. Released in 2008, the song achieved worldwide success, topping the charts in the USA, the UK, Australia, Canada and several European countries.
32. Little Queen of Spades - Robert Johnson
Moving on to the Little Queen of Spades, a song title by the American blues musician Robert Johnson who recorded the song in 1937 and first released it in 1938. The first version of this gambling-themed song has a playing time of 2:11, whereas the second one lasts 4s longer (2:15), and is considered an alternate take and first appeared on Johnson's album The Complete Recordings, in 1990.
31. Train of Consequences - Megadeth
Another great song Train of Consequences is the title created by Megadeth, released as the first single from their sixth studio album Youthanasia in 1994. The song was later included on their compilation albums and its music video was the 26th most played video on MTV. There’s this part of the song “No horse ever ran as fast as the money that you bet, I'm blowing on my cards and I play them to my chest” – which is about a person’s gambling problem, who realises something’s wrong with this lifestyle, but it still hunts him down. Could be just the thrill, but he just can’t stop playing.
30. Gambler - Whitesnake
Released on the album Slide It In (1984) and appearing on the compilation album Gold (2006), Gambler is the song by the British hard rock band Whitesnake. These words may sound familiar - “No fame or fortune, no luck of the draw, when I dance with the Queen of Hearts, a jack of all trades, a loser in love, it's tearing my soul apart”. And in case you’ve never heard it, we think you should give it a shot, the chances are you’re going to love it!
29. Gambling Man - Woody Guthrie
Now here’s one single from 1957 - Gamblin' Man. The song was taped live at the London Palladium and published as a double A side, with Puttin' On the Style. Reaching #1 in the UK Singles Chart in the summer 1957, it was “the last UK number 1 to be released on 78 rpm format only, as 7' vinyl had become the norm by this time.” Written by Woody Guthrie and Donegan, this gambling themed song was produced by Alan Freeman and Michael Barclay.
28. Roll of the Dice - Bruce Springsteen
According to Songfacts, Roll of the Dice was the first Springsteen’s song he didn’t write by himself. In fact, E Street Band’s pianist Roy Bittan helped with the music, while Springsteen was in charge of the lyrics, starting with – “Well I've been a losin' gambler, just throwin' snake eyes, Love ain't got me downhearted. I know up around the corner lies, My fool's paradise in just another roll of the dice.” After he broke up the E Street Band in October 1989, Springsteen wrote lyrics for the Roll of the Dice (with two other songs) and liked them to the point where he began writing and recording more songs.
27. Queen of Diamonds - Tom Odell
Here’s one song about a gambling fanatic who’s trying to satisfy his own addiction but also someone else, hoping it’s going to save him. Released in 2018, Queen of Diamonds is Tom Odell’s song from the album Jubilee Road, based on the local characters that inspired this British songwriter to include the whisky-soaked gamblers who regularly visited one betting shop.
26. The Angel and the Gambler - Iron Maiden
Now, this song may divide Iron Maiden fans and it’s most probably because of its repetitive lyrics that can be a bit annoying. The release we’re talking about is The Angel and the Gambler. Truth be told, the melody in general is very catchy and, even a bit similar to The Who in some moments. As the song was released in 1998 while Blaze Bayley was its frontmen, it’s missing the well-known high-pitch vocals from Bruce Dickinson.
25. Ramblin' Gamblin Man - Bob Seger
We’re moving on to a rock single from 1978 - Ramblin' Gamblin Man by Bob Seger. The author meets an old acquaintance, a professional gambler who happens to be a swagger. As such, he attracts people’s attention whenever he bets. Putting so much of his faith in the cards (rather than in people), he walks away every time, just before avoiding loss. Along the way, the narrator realises that, if you scratch beneath the surface, you’ll find he’s a very cynical man, who will never change. Another gambling-themed song worth mentioning by Bob Seger is Still The Same.
24. Blow Up The Pokies - The Whitlams
Blow up the Pokies is the next song on our list, played by The Whitlams. It is the second single by the group from their 4th studio album, Love This City. Released in the year 2000, the song became a hit and made it to number 21 on the ARIA Singles Chart. According to several resources, the lyrics written by singer Tim Freedman were inspired by the destruction he saw in original Whitlams bassist Andy Lewis's life, due to his gambling addiction.
23. A Good Run of Bad Luck - Clint Black
Now here’s one 1994-song packed with gambling-related terms. As you listen to A Good Run of Bad Luck, recorded by American music artist Clint Black, you'll have a bit of fun as you try identifying what all these gambling terms mean. The song is a bit fast and is about falling in love by using gambling metaphors. The main character is willing to spend a lot of money to win his special lady over and, although he has had a period of bad luck, he is not giving up – “I've been to the table, and I've lost it all before, I'm willin' and able, always comin' back for more.”
22. When You’re Hot, You’re Hot - Jerry Reed
Jerry Reed won a Grammy for the song When You’re Hot, You’re Hot which was released in 1971. Most people remember it as it was a major hit, ranked as number 1 in the country charts, also making its way up the Pop Top 40. It’s an enjoyable novelty song about the ups and downs of the gambling life, about one’s winning streak caught in an illegal game of Crap. Country star Jerry Reed also came up with a version The Uptown Poker Club in 1973.
21. Lawyers, Guns and Money - Warren Zevon
Next one up - Lawyers, Guns and Money is a song by Warren Zevon, the closing track on his album Excitable Boy, released in 1978. An edited version of this song was distributed as a single and found itself on the A Quiet Normal Life best of compilation on the CD and LP. The song goes like this - “I went home with a waitress the way I always do, how was I to know she was with the russians, too? I was gambling in Havana, I took a little risk Send lawyers, guns, and money Dad, get me out of this, hiyah!”
20. The Lottery Song - Harry Nilsson
According to the man in the 1972 pop-rock song The Lottery Song by Harry Nilsson, there's more than one way to get to Vegas. Addressing his lover, the narrator mentions a few different options for buying a ticket and going to Sin City – “We could win the lottery we could go to Vegas,” and “We could wait till summer, we could save our money” as well as “We could make a record, sell a lot of copies, we could play Las Vegas.”
19. Casino Queen - Wilco
Now here’s one black-humoured gambling-themed song, released in 1995 and titled after a casino. Featuring a dirty electric guitar, Casino Queen was composed by an American songwriter, Jeff Tweedy, who wrote this song after playing a game in a riverboat casino accompanied by his dad. Inspired by the event, the author wrote: “Casino Queen my lord you're mean, I've been gambling like a fiend on your tables so green.”
18. Have a Lucky Day - Morphine
Another song on our list that you simply must check out starts like this: “I feel lucky, I just feel that way, I'm on a bus to Atlantic City later on today. Now I'm sitting at a blackjack table and swear to God the dealer has a tag says, "Mabel." Hit me, hit me! I smile at Mabel, soon they're bringing complimentary drinks to the table.” Check it out yourself - it’s called Have a Lucky Day by Morphine.
17. Kentucky Gambler - Merle Haggard
Written by Dolly Parton and released in 1974, Merle Haggard’s Kentucky Gambler is another song on our ultimate gambling playlist that you should pay attention to. It’s about a miner from Kentucky who leaves his family to gamble, under the bright lights of Reno. Unsurprisingly, his winning streak comes to an end, and he loses all his winnings. All broke, he decided to return back home only when he arrived, he found out his wife was involved with someone else.
16. The Jack - AC/DC
The next song on our list will give you some adrenaline boost, for sure. It goes like this - “She gave me the queen, she gave me the king, she was wheelin' and dealin', just doin' her thing, she was holdin' a pair, but I had to try…” Sounds familiar? This song from the 1975s is called The Jack and is played by AC/DC and there’s no way you can skip it.
15. Blackjack - Ray Charles
Moving on to something a bit different - a melody that blackjack lovers can listen to as they play is Ray Charles’ Blackjack. Apart from being a good quality song from 1955, it carries an important message with an emphasis on how brutal the game of blackjack can be. Some sources say that Ray Charles wrote it after beating T-Bone Walker at a blackjack game session. Yet another Ray Charles’ famous song about gambling is called a Losing Hand.
14. Ooh Las Vegas - Gram Parson
“Ooh, Las Vegas, ain't no place for a poor boy like me”... is a song-into for Ooh Las Vegas which was written by Gram Parsons and Ric Grech. It was first released by Gram Parsons with Emmylou Harris in 1974. Playing this song would be perfect for the beginning of the road trip (i.e. to Las Vegas), especially if you have the energy to sing along.
13. The Stranger - Leonard Cohen
Published in 1968 and performed by Leonard Cohen, The Stranger appears in the The Ernie Game movie about a man released from a mental asylum. More appropriately, it is the perfect opening song in the 1971 Western McCabe & Mrs Miller, in which Warren Beatty plays a gambler. As you listen to this song (without watching the movie), it makes you see fascinating images of card games, smoky dreams, and concepts of risk versus safety.
12. Desperado - Eagles
Written by Glen Frey and Don Henley, Desperado song is one of The Eagles’ greatest hits from their 1973 album of the same name. The song features a classic tune while the ballad tells the story of a lone wolf imprisoned by his loneliness. As for the lyrics, they have loads of card references mentioning the queen of diamonds, the queen of hearts, and so on.
11. Huck's Tune - Bob Dylan
The next song on our list is about the risks of poker, money, and relationships, which are precisely what the movie Lucky You is all about. Does it ring a bell? That’s right, this 2007 song is called Huck’s Tune and is performed by Bob Dylan. Each of us can all relate to lines "You push it all in, and you've no chance to win, you play 'em on down to the end." Play the song and you’ll enjoy more than 4 amazing minutes of Bob Dylan. Likewise, Bob Dylan recorded Rambling, Gambling Willie and Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts, both excellent and both inspired by gambling.
10. Four Little Diamonds - Electric Light Orchestra
A song by the British rock band Electric Light Orchestra Four Little Diamonds was released in 1983 and found itself on the album Secret Messages. The single wasn’t so popular in the US, being only 2 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, at number 86, and number 84 in the UK. This song refers to the singer’s cheating lover who tricked him out of a ring which had 'four little diamonds' on it.
9. You Can't Beat The House - Mark Knopfler
Moving on to our next choice for the day, You Can’t Beat the House. It’s the third song on the Get Lucky studio album released in 2009 by British singer-songwriter and guitarist Mark Knopfler. The album and the songs received favorable reviews with the album reaching the top three positions on album charts in Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland. The singer’s divine voice combined with beautiful music and lyrics goes like this – “You can't bear the house, you can't bear the house, tell the man somebody, you can't beat the house.”
8. Deck of Cards - Don Williams
Deck of Cards is a recitation song that tells the story of a soldier who gets caught while playing cards in church and then faces a sentence from a superior officer. The soldier defends his case, explaining he wasn't about to deal a hand of poker, but was rather confirming his faith with the cards. Performed by T. Texas Tyler, the song managed to become a major hit in the 1940s and 1950s. Also, Wink Martindale had an even bigger hit with his 1959 cover, with a successful version by Don Williams featuring Tex Ritter and Buddy Cole.
7. Gambler’s Blues - B.B. King
First recording of the song Gambler’s Blues by B.B. King was in 1966, and it was released in 1967. The song appears on the album Back in the Alley (1970). Some say gambling and blues go hand in hand, so if you (gambling fans) haven’t heard it, listen and see for yourself.
6. Tumbling Dice - Rolling Stones
One of our favourite songs on the list is Tumbling Dice, written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. It tells the story of a gambler who can’t remain faithful to any woman. Being released in the 1970s and featuring a blues boogie-woogie rhythm, the song was and still is one of the greatest singles of all time. Rolling Stones also recorded Casino Boogie, and it’s from their 1972 album, Exile on Main St.
5. Luck Be A Lady - Frank Sinatra
The next song on our list is about a gambler who hopes that he will win a bet, the outcome of which will decide whether he is able to save his relationship with the girl of his dreams. You probably know what song we’re talking about; it’s called Luck be a Lady released in 1965 and performed by one of the most popular musical artists - Frank Sinatra.
4. Deal - Grateful Dead
Next one up is the song Deal. It was first performed by the Grateful Dead in 1971, as a regular part of the repertoire through their 1970's tour. Although being less common to the fans during the 1990s, the band continued to perform it. The singer opens with the message: “Since it cost a lot to win and even more to lose you and me bound to spend some time wondering what to choose,” that later kicks off with a chorus: “Don't let your deal go down...” Loser is another song first performed by the Grateful Dead in 1971 as well, heavily played during 1971 and 1972.
3. Ace of Spades - Motörhead
Ok, the next song is loaded with some great gambling verses like "The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say, I don't share your greed, the only card I need is the Ace of Spades" will definitely set you in the right mood for hitting some winning combinations. Released in 1980, the song was inspired by slot machines that the lead singer Ian Fraser “Lemmy” Kilmister played in London pubs.
2. Viva Las Vegas - Elvis
As soon as you start playing the second song from our playlist “Viva Las Vegas,” you’ll probably picture a huge casino and a great gaming atmosphere. Performed by the legendary Elvis Presley, the 1964-released song brings the glamour of the city, and its beat will get you in the mood for some serious gameplay. This song was written for the movie of the same name starring Elvis Presley, in which he plays a race car driver waiting tables at a hotel to pay off a debt. There’s this famous scene when he performs this song at the talent competition alongside many showgirls.
1. The Gambler - Kenny Rogers
Performed by the legendary country singer Kenny Rogers, The Gambler song is our number 1 - it's full of some betting advice that are relevant today, even though it was released more than 40 years ago, in 1978. Here’s how it goes… “If you're gonna play the game, boy you gotta learn to play it right, you've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, and know when to run.” These classic chorus lines were told from the first-person perspective inspired by a conversation the author had with an experienced poker player on a train. Written in the form of poker metaphors, Schlitz wrote the tune in honor of his late father. Johnny Cash is also among other musicians who recorded The Gambler in 1978, on Gone Girl.
Who is Johnny Cash roasting in God's gonna cut you down?
Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Midnight Rider is a song by the Allman Brothers band. Same as Ramblin' man. The Gambler is a song by Kenny Rogers. Is there anything more behind these lyrics? The official explanation seems too general.
Part 3 Stands if they were music references instead of Tarot Cards
Feel free to add suggestions. Rule is they need to be music references from before 1992 when Araki finished Stardust Crusaders. The Crusaders' stands: Star Platinum - Stardust or Starman Hermit Purple - Purple Rain Silver Chariot - Iron Maiden (or Iron Man but that's synonymous with the Marvel character) Hierophant Green - Judas Priest (Hierophant, Priest, you get the picture. Plus the Judas part amplifies the Yellow Temperance fight where it's teased that 'Kakyoin' is betraying the gang before the Rubber Soul reveal) ("If you think I'll sit around as [The World] goes by You're thinkin' like a [Fool] 'cause it's a case of do or die") Magician's Red - Blaze of Glory (foreshadowing how Avdol initially goes out when shot by Hol Horse). Edit: St Elmo's Fire/Man in motion as suggested by a comment The Fool - Fool's Garden or alternatively either Enter Sandman or Mr Sandman (or just Sandman making the Part 7 character a reference to Iggy) Enemy stands: Tower of Gray - The Beatle (or Superfly before the Part 4 stand could take it) Dark Blue Moon - Bad Moon Rising Strength - The Monkee Ebony Devil - Master of Puppets Yellow Temperance - Yellow Submarine Hanged Man - Hall of Mirrors Emperor - Big Iron Empress - Sweet Child (O' Mine) (alternatively Under My Skin but Joseph would have to say it) Wheel of Fortune - Turbo Lover Justice - Only Time (Enya song) Lovers - Part Time Lover Sun - Walking on Sunshine Death 13 - Dream on Judgement - Sad but True High Priestess - Beyond the Sea Edit: or Twisted Sister as suggested by a comment Geb - Blinded by the Light Khnum - Changes Tohth - Paranoid Anubis - Mack the Knife Bastet - Thunderstruck (plug sockets/ACDC speaks for itself plus the lyrics "I was caught in the middle of a railway track" Need I say more?). Sethan - Shadow on the wall Edit: or Forever Young as suggested by a comment Osiris - Ace of Spades (or The Gambler RIP Kenny Rogers) Horus - Welcome to the Jungle (contrasts Iggy's Fools Garden as he is taken out of his comfort zone and into the wild to fight Pet Shop) Atum - All in the game Tenore Sax stays the same Cream stays the same The World - Holy Diver (Been down too long in the midnight sea)

Astrologer mentions Kenny Rogers in her weekly forecast on the day of his passing, blew my mind!
I read this each week and was shocked to see Kenny mentioned on the day he passed, may he rest in peace <3
Friday 3/20/2020 Mars and Jupiter join forces for the first time in a couple of years. We can endure the tests around us as we understand the purpose they hold in our lives. This suggests significant steps forward which will trigger once again the big energy pattern of 1/12/20. At that time Saturn and Pluto joined up (a new start to a 33-36 year cycle). They are here to root out corruption and get rid of what stands in the way of a better tomorrow. These planets when paired together break us down and build us up. They are the stuff that says you better prove yourself if you want to get ahead. Much of the focus then as now is about being able to accept defeat in order to succeed. Though you can’t win every time if you are playing the end game you pick your shots and otherwise let the chips fall where they may. I met a man who was a professional gambler. He said to me if you want to win at gambling you chose your bets wisely and don’t bet every hand. Makes me think of the Kenny Rogers song The Gambler and I think these lines are good enough to repeat: You got to knowWhen to hold 'emKnow when to fold 'emKnow when to walk awayKnow when to runYou never count your moneyWhen you're sittin' at the tableThere'll be time enough for countin'When the dealin's doneEvery gambler knowsThe secret to survivin'Is knowin' what to throw awayAnd knowin' what to keep I must say that when I heard this last stanza I got chills. This is exactly the energy of Saturn and Pluto for us over the next several decades; there’s great wisdom in these lyrics my friends.

Today I was in the car listening to to “The Gambler” by Kenny Rogers, and outside of just being a damn good song, it had some subliminal lyrics that I felt could be very useful in our PMO recovery. I’ve taken the chorus and broken it down. The chorus goes... “You’ve got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em!”
Which I believe is you gotta know when to hold on to your drive and motivating thoughts to get you through those urges but also have the ability to get rid of the bad and negative ones that usually lead to our relapses. The second part goes...
“Know when to walk away, know when to run!”
I feel the walking away aspect can be when we stumble across NSFW material on social media, and the knowing when to run is when you find yourself mentally wanting to search pornography, or when those urges are at their strongest, to be able to quickly get yourself out of that area/environment. In the 3rd section goes...
“You never count your money, when you’re sitting at the table. There’ll be time enough for countin, when the dealings done!”
This can be interpreted as you never fantasize, sexualize, peek (and depending on your mode) have sexual intercourse during your reboot and just fully commit 100% into the process, and that you’ll have more than enough time and will be having successful sex with as many women as you desire once the rebooting process is done.
Also, I’m more than aware that this wasn’t the intent of the song when created but after having a relapse early this Monday morning :( and hearing this song in the car I felt that a lot of older songs have life lessons in them that can be used in ANY life situation. We got this guys, this is day 1 back for me and I’m making it my last!! Let’s kick this addictions ass! And become the great version of ourselves that we were intended to be!
I got The Gambler stuck in my head over the weekend, so of course i had to revisit one of my favorite goofs, Kenny Rogers GameFAQs (youtube link). After listening to the song a few times, I noticed that Kenny Rogers gave us a clue about his video game strategy guides right in the lyrics: 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 you're gonna play the Game Boy, you gotta learn to play it right."
I am certainly not suicidal, but, I had a couple seizures in September, something that had never happened before. I ended up being in the hospital for like a month and don't remember any of it, totally blank. The main thing I took away from the experience, I could have just been dead and I wouldn't have had any idea. Would that have been so bad? I really got into some lyrics from the Kenny Rogers song "The Gambler" after that: "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." I mean, I am almost 35, it sort of seems like the fun part is over.
Our Man in Havana by Graham Greene, two characters play checkers, where instead of red and black tiles, they're mini bottles of bourbon and scotch.
Kenny Rogers, the Gambler
Finnegan's Wake (the song), whiskey is the death and resurrection of Finnegan.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Bourbon Street
I'd like to find more, perhaps specific examples of certain brands, but general references are cool too. I'm sure I've missed John Wayne and Johnny Cash references and other song lyrics/bands. Mods, is it cool to cross post this into bourbon, scotch and irishwhiskey, or no?
What Songs That *probably* Aren't About Sex Make Great Sexual Innuendos?
When I was a kid a friend told me that every song was about sex. I believed him. His example was Kenny Roger's The Gambler. He claimed it was about masturbation. "know when to hold 'em". Even when it barely made sense (Know when to fold 'em) I shrugged it off as my young naivety. What are some other songs that probably aren't about sex but make great innuendos? Please reference the lyric if not in the title.
Lots! Here's one: There was a stretch where I would see the same (or same types) of trains passing me for a few days. They were hugely long trains, a hundred or more cars, no joke, I was counting. One day an engineer of one of the trains must have seen me from a long way out and stopped the entire train to give me a bottle of water. It was epic. I felt like industry and commerce had stopped for me that day.
Usually it was very hot. There were times in the Mojave desert were it reached 130 degrees during the day. Surprisingly it was 100 degrees even at night.
You get used to it. I started in Florida where it is hot because of humidity and I had 2 months and 2,000 miles of time to adjust to the dry increasing heat. By the time I got to the Mojave desert... it was intense but I could do it. Also, I was so close to the finish line that I had momentum carrying me mentally. It was hard but not impossible.
Many people have shown me other stories of long traveling. I think they are great! I met people on their own trek across the country while I was on mine. For such a large distance, I felt humbled to pass another in the same position. I hope it's not a competition, but a shared experience!
It was actually a little less than 90 days. Sometimes I walked more than 60 miles a day. For example, from the last town in NW Texas to San Jon, New Mexico or between Tucumcari and Santa Rosa. Those were huge days. I didn't use a backpack at all. Carrying even 10lbs on your back (1 gallon of water and a flashlight) can create excruciating pain over a 3,000 mile journey. I used a Chariot Cougar 2 rigged to carry extra weight. Camping gear and water. I didn't portion food. I had none. Strangers would pull over and give me supplies or I wouldnt eat. I couldn't tell you about the calories but I know it was a lot. I would take my shirt off at the end of the day and it would be stiff with dried sweat.
Let's see, planning. Well, because of my profession - I tried to plan everything. Mother nature made sure to let me know that the joke was definitely on me! I tried to plan the route, pit stops, sleeping schedules. All of that went out the window. It's impossible to plan for this without a huge support team. So, I let go of that part of me for this project. I embraced the crazy storms, the crazy drivers, the long extents without food. It was a wild trip. I tried to google walking directions to the west coast. Don't do that, it's a death trap. Google will have you walk through the most dangerous areas possible because its faster. Great company but their walking maps need adjustment ha ha! I stripped down to just the bare essentials: tent, tarp, bag, 2 outfits, water. Stuff like that.
I did have a phone but since I was often in areas with no service it would die very quickly. It was trying to find service and the battery was drained in an hour maybe. So I kept it in airplane mode and only turned it on for emergencies or updating the facebook page when I was at a place with free wi-fi. In the cougar I started with a bunch of junk that any college kid would anticipate needing on a cross-country camping trip. I brought all sorts of stupid stuff: rope, zip-ties, tape, umbrella, lantern, pots and pans. All of that was completely useless and I donated most of it.
Like multiple days through the hottest and most spread out parts of the desert, through twice as many mountain ranges. Old rickety roads with no where to walk on them except on them.
I met kind strangers every single day. Most restaurants along route 66 gave me free food when I told them who I was and what I was doing. You can find more specific examples on my website: www.Facebook.com/AmericaOnFoot.
I did have MANY moments like that. Yelling at the wind till my voice was hoarse. Feeling like God or mother nature had betrayed me or that they were testing me. One time because of fierce wind, were talking 50mph, my cart with all of its weight went off a steep hill and got caught in a barbed wire fence. The only way to get back onto the road was to climb back up. I freed my cart from the barbed wire and messed up my hands and arms. Then I began my ascent up the hill. Little did I know that it was all sugarsand. My cart became a sled and I continuously got thrown down the hill. One time I was within 2 feet of the top and my foot slipped. The cart ran over my shoulder and chest - I stopped it with my foot, severely injuring my ankle. I ended up unloading the entire cart, disassembling it and making many trips up and down the hill. I was very discouraged but I kept going. I was no stranger to wild animals on this trip. Most of them were just curious or looking for food. My cart made me appear as a large scary animal though so they kept their distance. One small dog, a rotweiller puppy, hobbled over to me on an indian reservation one time. Named it Sazo. Miss that guy. I never stopped walking but sometimes a place I liked was long enough to get two days of exposure, like Austin or the Navajo Reservation.
My family loves me and tried to talk me out of it. They were always looking for updates to the journey and like to hear the stories. It was a journey for them as well in its own way.
Great question. The scariest moment, I don't think I can share yet. But, I will tell you I was scared of coming home. For 3 months being in need most of the time and then returning to a lifestyle with too much is a bit shocking. I don't fit in it well now. At least, I prefer less. Another time I was in fear was a point in Albuquerque when I felt I needed to flash a firearm I carried to dissuade a mugging.
Some parts of Texas were boring because it's very flat. I walked on a road surround by barbedwire fences and empty nothingness for hundreds of miles through Texas. Once I got into New Mexico the view was much prettier. I spent a LOT of time in my head. Thinking. Sometimes hours would go by and I would realize my walking day was almost done. Other times I would sing out loud and I would even free-style rap about things I found on the side of the road.
People keep throwing out their trash, Could be useful, better add it to my stash, Oh no, dont touch that, could start a rash, Wanted to wave but they drove by too fast.
I arrived in Henrietta, Texas one half hour before sundown. I had two different contacts there but both turned their phones off. I was running out of ideas and day light very quickly. I approached a church and saw people inside. I knocked on a side door and told them my story. I asked if they had anyone who would let me just sleep in their yard. They said they would make some phone calls and advised me to wait outside for them. A few minutes later I saw them leave out of a side door and drive away. Luckily, the church of christ down the road was much more hospitable and I will be forever grateful to them.
I dont think so. We're all just fallible human beings. We make mistakes. Usually we, as people, are unreliable but God is always reliable. Life is all about ups and downs. This trip was an extreme example of this but christianity is no different. Somethings are meant to be and somethings arent. Christianity offers answers and family - I wouldnt trade it. I wasnt the greatest guy before I left but this trip has helped me become more patient and has taught me a little about integrity.
I really am proud to be an American. Some people refused to let me sleep on the edge of their property, but I don't hold the country over their decision. Rather, I love how so many people run to help when it is needed. I feel like Americans generally really care about the person on the side of the road. I've experienced it. Even the police of different states have kind concern. I received escorts through particular areas, not because I asked, but because they wanted to see me through alright.
My left knee blew out after the third week from an old crosscountry running injury. After that I had to implement lots of stretching and up my water intake. I also had to take lots of ibuprofein. 30 to 40 miles a day can be painful!
There were several times when I had to walk through the night because of the weather or unsafe feeling of the area. After a 30 mile day, you just want to lay down. But I had to move on. Those were trying times.
My friends were pretty stoked. Family advised against it! I had a lot of discouraging days but I can't quit anything ever. I would've never given up. Rather die. I had a party at Laguna after a dip in the Pacific. So surprised just how many came to the Laguna party!
I never had to use leaves. I'm very resourceful. Also, when you don't eat for two days and then eat an entire pizza your digestive system learns to adapt. Sometimes it would be 2 days before I had to go #2.
New Mexico and Arizona had the most impressive sunsets for me. The deep reds were breathtaking. There was also a lot less light pollution, so the stars were equally life changing.
One could say the same thing driving on a one lane road. Most people don't realize the daily danger. I stayed on roads mostly so there are people passing and there were those who provided what I needed.
I carried water I received each day in the cart I pushed.
I walked between 30 or 40 miles a day. I did highway 90 and I-10 for 1,000 miles then I-35 through waco towards Fort Worth, then 287 to amarillo and i-40 for 1,500 miles. I wanted something with enough traffic but still not so much that I would be harassed.
I haven't been finished with the trip for very long. Right now, I am exhausted from having so many individual conversations. I know I will need some time grow from my experiences. I am more encouraging toward kindness and generosity. I am more frugal. I trust God more and want to help others to trust him more. I see people wasting away in front of the computer and TV.
Society is important. People cling to it and need it. Most normal people cannot handle this kind of trip. 3 months of isolation is not easy by any means. It's salvation for some and ruin for others.
I do think that if each American at 18 was required to do this walk, our society would be a very different place.
I was never raped but people tried. That's all I'll say about that. I'm glad I brought a firearm. I was assaulted and I was also handcuffed and thrown into a couple cop cars.
Just while walking. Law enforcement would get calls alerting them of a sketchy vagabond character walking through town and they'd come out to meet me :) When camping on private property I was usually very careful. Only had a couple run ins and they all ended decently, no injuries.
That was the million dollar question and what made this trip exciting and dangerous. I slept in a different place every day for 90 days straight. Usually in the woods, under bridges or behind stores. Occasionally Americans would put me up in their houses or let me pitch my tent in their yard.
I'm sure there were plenty of strange looks, but they mostly flew by in cars! One of my favorite foods was eating anything in New Mexico with green chilis!
I got my ccw from Florida. To be honest the whole point of a ccw is that its concealed. No one ever knew I had a firearm unless they were threatening me. Even when law enforcement did inquire, I explained my situation and they overlooked it. Every time!
I think its a challenge because we're encouraged to be a light to others. A shining example of love and charity. Its tough to always be on your "A" game. We get down and discouraged just like everyone else. This world can be a tough and often cutthroat place to live in. It's hard enough surviving in it, let alone trying to share good news that people are resistant to. I do the best I can :)
One thing I try to do is to help others while fulfilling my selfish traveling bug. I can't help it. I want to see as many places as possible but one idea is to be charitable while doing it. Like visiting Honduras to build houses for the poor instead of the Bahamas. Both are very nice places I'm sure though.
Does this help? Of course there's always many things that are tempting to try that we are not supposed to do either. No one is perfect though! Keep trying and always try to do right by everyone. You'll mess up but that's expected.
Thank you most sincerely. This journey has taught me many many many things. The biggest piece of advice I can give anyone doing any journey of any caliber is this: if your heart is in the right place and you are trying to do something good, it will work and God, as well as, other Americans will take care of you.
I didn't get to visit too many to be honest with you. They're typically far away from the main interstates. A two hour drive to the local university could be a 3 day walk for me :) I did a presentation for one college class though. LSU was nice.
Not sure, probably a couple thousand dollars on the low end. I did let people buy me things and donate things. For example, meals or shoes or new tires for my cart :)
I've had several people reach out to me lately trying to begin a trip like mine. I would advise agaisnt it to be honest, or at least advise for you to plan on spending much more time than 3 months. Walking 3,000 miles on foot in less than 90 days is unheard of. I have put my body through a very great burden and I will have to have pool therapy for my legs probably. Otherwise, plan to be very lonely and to get over it. Plan to be very hungry and to get over it. Plan to have a life changing experience that is impossible to plan for :) Get ready to adjust on the fly and keep your head up. If you have any specific questions, list them and I will do my best to answer the ones I can.
Harder. If things are hard and you're with someone else - you will complain. If you're by yourself, there isn't anyone to complain to, so you just dont.
Schedule is very important for a trip like this when dealing with a guy like me. With my chef background I like things to be very organized and planned out. As you can imagine, planning for this sort of thing is nearly impossible but I tried. Some things I would schedule were activities like: "okay, in thirty minutes I can take a sip of water, in one hour I can stretch, in 1.5 hours I can take more ibuprofein".
I was always up before the sun and usually walked past sundown. This trip was a 90 hour a week job but one that was enjoyable most times.
1) I tried to plan but my plans fell through, I had to adjust to mother nature, storms, the road, strangers, fatigue, hunger. You just get used to it. 2) I just got home a few days ago. Yes, my hometown. It feels very weird being here. Sitting in a chair. Experiencing air conditioning lol. 3) I have my own catering company usually but besides my apartment lease, I didn't really have any expenses during the trip. 4) One time 50mph wind blew my cart down a hill into a barbed wired fence. Getting back up the hill was tough. Sugar sand. I slipped two feet from the top and got run over by my cart. Injured, bleeding and frustrated, I had to unload it completely and make separate trips.
I ate when people stopped to give me food. Sometimes people would stop to check on me, then return with food. I always felt blessed, though sometimes I went long stretches without food and water.
I never had to beg even once. In fact I never even asked for a hand out. If I needed something it just happened without much thought or effort. I would stop by a fast-food joint to fill up my water canteens and people would offer to buy me lunch or what have you. I lived by the same mantra for every component of the trip. Although, sometimes my stubbornness left me hungry for a day or two. I was testing my self and my faith and my countrymen. I'm proud to say 3 months later I am healthy and generally well-nourished!
Aha, that song is a joke. I heard it once in a diner and CRACKED up. This mans illustration of an incredible feat of love is 1/6 the distance I walked :)
Hmmm. I guess so. I know for a fact that it has changed my car rides! While driving, I realize that I'm looking for places to stealth camp. I'm looking for people to avoid. Places with wi-fi or somewhere to fill up water.
As far as social justice, I feel like certain places where more hospitable towards my vagabond character. Other places not so much :) It's such a tough topic. Humans in general, are subject to so much pain and suffering. I tried to help as many people as possible, homeless included.
This trip was incredible, challenging, exciting. I would definitely do it again. Im asking myself that same question. It's too soon to say anything officially about my next walk but in the meantime I am starting up my Community Walk project. My entire town is invited to a weekly walk. We will all meet at the local park and just do a few laps together. I want to get people outside, in the sunshine, experiencing life and having fun together. Connection!
Good idea! I love Spanish cuisine and most European cuisines, I would LOVE to do that.
Too many people to credit in one place. I met hundreds of incredibly unique and inspiring individuals. We're all trying to find our own path, it was awesome sharing stories. Pirate Christ was a neat fellow - very long dreads.
If you think about traveling cross country, certain parts of our country come with their own challenges. Mountains and cold versus dry hot and spread out. Most people prefer flat and hot versus constant elevation changes.
So, it's become all too apparent at this point that nothing that occurs in the Breaking Bad universe happens by chance. With that aside, I'm watching this episode with my friend when I notice that Walt and Jesse are wearing Kenny Rogers shirts, as you can see here So, of course I go to look it up and then's when I find something odd. You can interpret this any way you like, as I may be truly reaching to find a connection, but there is something odd about this. I'm excluding some titles, but taking some album names into consideration, they follow as such.
Love Lifted Me (1976)
Daytime Friends (1977)
Every Time Two Fools Collide (1978)
The Gambler (1978)
The Heart of the Matter (1985)
They Don't Make Them Like They Used To (1986)
Something Inside So Strong (1989)
She Rides Wild Horses (1999)
Back to the Well (2003)
and You Can't Make Old Friends (2013)
And again, I'm probably pushing for a connection, but upon examination of the lyrics of the songs... Love Lifted Me "I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore, Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more, But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry, From the waters lifted me, now safe am I." Daytime Friends "And he'll tell her He's working late again But she knows too well there's something goin' on She's been neglected and she needs a friend So her trembling fingers dial the telephone" The Gambler "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 you're sittin' at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done. Now Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin' Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep. 'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser, And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep." Now this is an obvious love song, but Every Time Two Fools Collide "You lay the blame on me And I, the blame on you But why do we keep finding faults In everything we do And how long can we keep right and wrongs So cut and dry And who picks up the pieces Every time two fools collide" I'm sure the writers never intended or even tried for something this deep, but I'm imagining one recognized the potential and added the shirt for shits and giggles. Make of it what you guys will.
I know that if I want to use lyrics from a song in or on something that I need to get it licensed. What if I didn't want to do that, but instead wanted to use what the song was about for another form of media? Here's an example: the song "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers. If I wanted to make a movie (yes, I know there already was one) where the story line was basically the same idea as the song, would I have to get that licensed? Or, instead of a movie, if I wanted to write a book or short story where the plot was the same as the song. Do those kind of things need to be licensed?
