Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You've been out riding fences for so long now
Oh you are hard one, but I know that you have got your reason
These things that are pleasing you can't hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the cream of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
The queen of hears is always your best bet
How it seems to me some fine thing
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones you can't
Desperado, Oh you ain't getting younger
Your pain and you hunger, they're ruining your home freedom,
Oh, freedom
That's just some people talking
You are prison walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in 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
Before it's too late
Joseph John
