Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one and 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 one's that you can't get
Desperado, Oh you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, thier drivin' you home
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 wintertime
The sky won't snow and the sun don't shine
It's hard to tell the nightime from the day
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'd better let somebody love you before it's too late
