Desperado



Desperado, why don't you come to your senses

You've been out ridin' fences

For so long now

Oh, you're a hard one

But I know that you've got your reasons

These things that are pleasin' you

Can hurt you somehow



Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy

She'll beat you if she's able

The queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me some fine things

Have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones that you can't get



Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' younger

Your pain and your hunger they're drivin' you home

And freedom, oh freedom

well that's just some people talkin'

Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone



Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day

You're losin' all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away



Desperado, why don't you come to your senses

Come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you

Let somebody love you, let somebody love you

Before it's too late.
