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 And I know that you 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 Another 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 that you can't get
Desperado, you ain't getting no younger You're pain and your hunger They're 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 and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the night time from the day You're losing all your highs and lows And funny how the feeling goes away
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses Come down from your fences Open the day, it may be raining But there's a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you You better let somebody love you Before it's too late
