You been out ridin' fences so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
But I know that you 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 friend
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, oh you ain't getting no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're driving you home
And freedom, woo freedom, that's just some people talking
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosing 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)
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late
