She was just an empty fable
 The queen of hearts you say you never met
 Your twisted fate has found you out
 And it' fin'lly turned the tables
 Stole your dreams and paid you with regret
 Desperado
 (Is there gonna be anything left, is there gonna be anything?)
 You sealed your fate up a long time ago
 (Ain't it hard when you're all alone in the center ring?)
 Now there's no time left to borrow
 (Is there gonna be anything left?)
 Only stardust
 (Maybe tomorrow)
 Maybe tomorrow
 Maybe tomorrow
 Desperado
 Desperado

 Well the stage was set the sun was sinkin' low down
 As they came to town to face another showdown
 The lawmen cleared the people from the streets
 "All you blood -thirsty bystanders, will you try to
 find your seats?"
 Watch 'em duelin'
 Doolin-Dalton
 High or low ,it's all the same
 Easy money and faithless women
 You will never kill the pain

 Go down, Bill Doolin, don't you wonder why
 Sooner or later we all have to die?
 Sooner or later, that's a stone-cold fact,
 Four men ride out and only three ride back
