Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You've been out riding fences for so long now
You're a hard one
But I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds
Boy, she'll beat you if she's able
No, 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 things that you can't get
Desperado, you ain't getting no 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 winter time?
The sky won't snow, the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time 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 and open the gate
It may be raining, but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you before its too late
