Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?    You been out ridin' fences for so long now    Oh, you're a hard one    I know that you got your reasons    These things that are pleasin' you    Can hurt you somehow       Don' you draw the queen of diamonds, boy    She'll beat you if she's able    You know the queen of heats 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 gettin' no youger    Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home    And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'    Your prison is 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 loosin' 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, before it's too late
