Despera do, why don't you c ome to your senses?
You been o ut rid in' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a h ard one, I know
that y ou got your reasons,
These t hings that are pleasin'
you can hurt you so mehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy,
She'll b eat you if she's a ble,
You know the queen of hearts is a lways
your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things
have been l aid upon your ta ble
But you only want the ones you can't get
Despera do, oh you ain't g ettin' no younger,
Your p ain and y our hunger,
they're drivin' you home
And f reedom, wel l,
that's just s ome people talkin'
Your p rison is walkin'
through this world al l alon e
Do n't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The s ky won't snow and the s un won't shine
It's hard to tell the nig ht time
from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it f unny how the f eelin' goes away
Despera do, why don't you c ome to your senses?
Come d own from y our fences, open the gate
It may be r ainin', but there's a
ra inbow above you
You better l et somebody love you ,
You better l et somebody love you
before it's too late
