Desperado,
why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences
for so long now.
Oh, you're a hard one,
I know that you got your reasons,
these things that are pleasin' you
can hurt you somehow.
Don't you draw the queen
of diamonds, boy,
she'll beat you if she's able,
you know 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 ones
that you can't get.
Desperado,
oh, you ain't gettin' no younger,
your pain and your hunger,
they're drivin' you home.
And freedom, oh, freedom,
well, that's just some people talkin'
your prison is walkin'
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 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.
