"Desperado" lyrics

Desperado

Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses?
You been out riding fences
For so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
But I know you got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
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 kow ain't getting no younger
Your pain and your hunger
They're driving you home
And freedom
Well, that's just some people talking
Your prison is walking
Through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime?
The sky won't snow
And the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the nighttime
From the day
You're losing all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny
How the feeling goes away?

Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences
And open the gate
It may be raining
But there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late
