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

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

the queen of hearts is always your best bet

and 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

they're drivin' you home

and freedom

freedom

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?

away?

oh

desperado

why don't you come to your senses?

come down from your fences

open the gate

it may be rainin'

but there's a rainbow above you

you better let somebody love you

let somebody love you

you better let somebody love you

before it's too.
