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 will 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
Well it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the things that you can’t get

*****

Desperado
you know you ain’t getting younger
Your pain and your hunger are 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 wintertime
Sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine
It’s hard to tell the nighttime 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
Open the gate
It may be raining
But there’s a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
Let somebody love you
Before it’s too late

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,

[

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 you can’t get

Desperado, oh you ain’t gettin’ no younger,

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

And freedom, well, that’s just some people talkin’

Your prison is walkin’ 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 feelin’ goes away

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,

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