Desperado why dont you come to your senses
You been out ridin fences for so long now
Oh youre a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin you
Can hurt you somehow
Dont you draw the queen of diamonds boy
Shell beat you if shes 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 cant get
Desperado oh you aint gettin no younger
Your pain and your hunger theyre drivin you home
And freedom oh freedom well thats just some people talkin
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Dont your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky wont snow and the sun wont shine
Its hard to tell the night time from the day
Youre losin all your highs and lows
Aint it funny how the feeling goes away
Desperado why dont you come to your senses
Come down from your fences open the gate
It may be rainin but theres a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you before its too late
Desperado
