Desperado why don't you
come to your senses
You been out riding fences
for so long now
Oh you're a hard one
I know that
you 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 heats
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
And freedom oh freedom well
that's just some people talking
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 loosing
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
open the gate
It may be raining
but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
before it's too late
