Desperado Lyrics

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses

You’ve been out riding fences for so long now

Oh, you're a hard one but I know that you've got your reasons

These things that are pleasing 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 getting no younger

Your pain and your hunger, they're driving you home

Freedom, ah freedom, that's just some people talking

You're a prisoner 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 losing 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 raining but there's a rainbow above you

You’d better let somebody love you

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