Desperado

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

You been out ridin' fences for so long now

Oh, you're a hard one but I know that you 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

You know the queen of hearts is your best bet

And 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, well, you ain't gettin' no younger

Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you wild

And freedom, well, that's just some people talkin'

Your prison is walking through this world all alone

And don't your feet get cold in the winter time?

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

It's hard to tell the night time 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 and open the gate

I know it's rainin' but there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you before it's too late
