LYRICS
Desperado,
why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now.
Oh, you're a hard one,
but I know that you've 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 ones that you can't get.
Desperado,
ah, you ain't gettin' no younger.
Your pain and your hunger,
they're drivin' you home.
Freedom, oh, freedom.
That's just some people talkin
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 losin' 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 rainin' ,
but there's a rainbow above you.
You better let somebody love you
You let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
before it's too late.
