Despera do, why don't you come to your senses?
You been o ut rid in' fe nces for so long now
Oh, you're a h ard one, I know
that you got your reasons,
These t hings that ar e pleasi n'
you can hu rt you so mehow
Don't you dr aw the queen of diamonds boy,
She'll beat you if she's a ble,
You know the qu een of hearts is always
your best bet
Now it se ems to me some fin e things
have been laid upon your ta ble
But you on ly want the one s you can't get
Despera do, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
Your p ain and y our hu nger,
they're dr ivin' you home
And f reedom, wel l,
that's just some people talkin'
Your p rison is wal kin'
through this w orld al l alon e
Do n't your fe et get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the s un won't shine
It's ha rd to tell the night time
from the day
Yo u're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the f eelin' goes awa y
Despera do, why don't you come to your senses?
Come d own from y our fenc es, open the gate
It may be r ainin', but there's a
rainbow above you
You better l et somebo dy lo ve you ,
You better l et somebo dy lo ve you
befor e it's too late
