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 hearts 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
