Lyrics for Song: Desperado
Lyrics for Album: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow
Don' you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen 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, oh, you ain't gettin' no youger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And 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 above you
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late

Originally released on their 1973 album of the same name, the track showcases the group's ability to craft melancholic narratives about isolation and missed opportunities. The song features the band's trademark harmonies and a gentle acoustic arrangement that allows the emotional weight of the lyrics to resonate without overwhelming the listener. As a cornerstone of their discography, it remains a staple in their live performances and continues to define the sound of classic American rock. Its timeless quality ensures that Desperado remains a vital part of the Eagles' legacy, reflecting the depth and maturity found throughout their extensive body of work. |
