Desperado

[Verse 1]

D-d-d-desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

You been out ridin' fences for so long now

And you're a hard one, but I know that you got your reasons

These things that are pleasing you can hurt you somehow

[Chorus 1]

And 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

[Verse 2]

D-d-d-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

[Chorus 2]

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime?

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

It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day

You're losin' all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

[Verse 3]

Oh 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

You better let somebody love you, before it's too... three four!
