Lyrics for Song: Desperado
Lyrics for Album: Run For The Border [2009]
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for 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, queens of heats 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, woah, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
Freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin'
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 loosin' 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 rainin', but there's a rainbow up above you
You better let somebody love you
Oh you better let somebody love you, before it's too late
