You been out ridin fences for so long now Oh, youre 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 Shell beat you if shes 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 cant get Desperado, oh, you aint gettin no youger Your pain and your hunger, theyre drivin you home And freedom, oh freedom well, thats just some people talkin Your prison is walking through this world all alone Dont your feet get cold in the winter time? The sky wont snow and the sun wont shine Its hard to tell the night time from the day Youre loosin all your highs and lows Aint it funny how the feeling goes away? Desperado, why dont you come to your senses? Come down from your fences, open the gate It may be rainin, but theres a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you, before its too late! I don't know, it just somehow seemed appropiate
