Desperate Man

[Intro]

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

[Verse 1]

I've seen the Joshua Tree

Got down on my knees

Threw the Virgin Mother a prayer

I've walked glass barefooted

Strolled 'cross the devil's hot coals

I've tried everything, I swear

[Chorus]

Oh, but hey (hey) what can I say?

I'm a desperate man

I said hey (hey) what can I say?

I'm just a desperate man

[Post-Chorus]

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

[Verse 2]

Fortuneteller told me

"No more last chances

You got no future at all"

Oh, but I ain't listenin'

You black-hearted gypsy

Nailed a crucifix to the bedroom wall

[Chorus]

Hey (hey) what can I say?

I'm a desperate man

I said hey (hey) what can I say?

I'm just a desperate man

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, yeah

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

[Bridge]

Yeah, I'm a half-cock, full-tilt, scarred-hands-to-the-hilt

Don't-push-me grown-ass man

Yeah, flashin' light caution, careful where ya cross son

'Til she comes back again

[Chorus]

Yeah, hey (hey) what can I say?

I'm a desperate man

Oh, hey (hey) what can I say?

I'm just a desperate man

Oh, hey (hey) I said hey (hey)

Woah, what can I say? I'm a desperate man

Oh, hey (hey) I said hey (hey)

I'm just a desperate man

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, yeah

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Grown-ass man

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

[Outro]

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo

Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
