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