the old man dies at the end of the song in my opinion and i also agree that this song is about the life and how u deal with what comes to you, this is obviously being told by the older man. i also think that he dies happy in the knowledge that he has bestowed his wisdom to someone else for them to also pass on.
"And in his final words I found an ace that I could keep."
this seems like the old man's words have helped the singer and so he dies knowing he woz successful. great song.
