| Desperado |
| written by Don Henley & Glenn Frey 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 But I know that you've got your reasons These things that are pleasing you will 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 Well it seems to me some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the things that you can't get Desperado you know you ain't getting younger Your pain and your hunger are driving you home And freedom, oh 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 Sky won't snow and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the night time 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 Open the gate It may be raining But there's a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you Let somebody love you Before it's too late |
