You've been out riding fences for so long now
But I know that you've got your reasons
Desperado
And freedom, oh, freedom
It may be raining but there's a rainbow above you
Have been laid upon your table
Well, it seems to me some fine things
Come down from your fences, open the gate
Desperado
Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy
Well, that's just some people talking
Why don't you come to your senses
Sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
You know you ain't getting younger
She'll beat you if she's able
You're losing all your highs and lows
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away
These things that are pleasing you will hurt you somehow
Your pain and your hunger are driving you home
The queen of hearts is always your best bet
You better let somebody love you, let somebody love you
But you only want the things that you can't get
Oh, you're a hard one
