The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
Your prison is walkin' through this world all alone
Oh, you're a hard one but I know that you got your reasons
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin'
You're losin' all your highs and lows
You better let somebody love you
Come down from your fences, open the gate
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away?
(Let somebody love you)
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
She'll beat you if she's able
It may be rainin' but there's a rainbow above you
But you only want the ones that you can't get
These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Have been laid upon your table
Desperado, oh you ain't gettin' no younger
