Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fe nces for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one, I know
that you got your reasons,
These things that ar e pleasi n'
you can hu rt you somehow
Don't you dr aw the queen of diamonds boy,
She'll beat you if she's able,
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 table
But you on ly want the one s you can't get
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger,
Your pain and your hu nger,
they're dr ivin' you home
And freedom, well,
that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is wal kin'
through this w orld all alone
Don't your fe et get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun 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 feelin' goes awa y
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fenc es, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a
rainbow above you
You better let somebo dy lo ve you,
You better let somebo dy lo ve you
befor e it's too late
