Desperado

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, but you got your reasons

The things that are pleasin' you, will hurt you somehow

Don't you call on the queen of diamonds, boy

She'll beat you if she's able

The queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me some fine things

Have laid upon your table

But you always want the things you can't get

Desperado, you ain't gettin' no younger

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

Freedom, oh freedom, that's just some people talkin'

Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime?

The sky won't show and the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the night-time from the day

Now you're losin' all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

Come down from your fences and open the gates

It's rainin' (it's rainin', 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 late (desperado)
