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
And 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
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' no younger
Your pain and your hunger,
Your pain and your hunger,
they're drivin' you home
they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom
well, that's just
some people talkin'
Your prison is walking
through this world
all alone
Don't your feet get cold
in the winter time?
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
It may be rainin'
but there's a rainbow
above you
You better let
somebody love you
You better let
somebody love you
before it's too... late...
