Desperado; why don't you come to your senses; you've been out riding fences; for so long now; oh, you're hard one; but i know that you've got your reasons; these things that are pleasing 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; oh, you ain't getting no younger; your pain and your hunger; they're driving you home; freedom, oh, freedom, that's just some people talking; you're prisoners walking; through this world all alone; don't your feet get cold in the winter time; the sky won't snow and the sun won't shine; it's hard to tell the night time from the day; you're losing all your highs and lows; ain't it funny how the feeling goes away, 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'd better let somebody love you; you'd better let somebody love you; before it's too late.
