Desesperado Why don't you come to your senses You've been out ridin' fences So long now 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 It seems to me some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones you can't get Desperado Oh you ain't getting no younger Your pain and your hunger They're drivin' 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 wintertime The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day You're losing all your highs and lows It's funny how the feeling goes away Desperado Why don't you come to your senses Come on down from your fences And open the gates It may be rainin' But there's a rainbow above you You'd better let somebody love you Let somebody love you Before it's too late
