Lyrics
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, I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you, hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
Know 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 ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't getting younger
Your pain and your hunger, drivin' you home
And freedom, oh, freedom
Well, that's just some people talkin'
Well, your prison is walking through this world all alone
And 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 nighttime 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
Thank you, you've been so nice
Good night
