Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? You've been out riding fences for so long now Oh, you're heartwarmed, I know that you've got your reasons These things are not pleasing, you can't 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 findings have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you can't get Desperado, oh, you ain't getting no younger Your pain and your hunger are driving 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 Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away? Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? Come down from your fences, open the gate It may be raining, but there's a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you You better let somebody love you Before it's too late
