Desperado

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You've been out riding fences for so long now.
Oh, you're a hard one, I know you've got your reasons,
these things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow.

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy,
she'll beat you if she's able, you know the queen of hearts 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, you know you ain't getting no younger, your pain and your hunger,
they're drivin' your home.
And freedom, oh, freedom, well, that's just some people takin'
your prison is walkin' through this world all alone.

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't show and the sun won't shine,
It's hard to tell the night time from the day.
You're losin' all your highs and lows.
Ain't it funny how the feelin' 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,
You better let somebody love you before it's too late.
