Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You've been out riding fences
For so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you
Can hurt you somehow
[Verse 2]
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 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
[Verse 3]
Desperado
Oh, you ain't getting no younger
Your pain and your hunger
They're driving you home
And freedom, oh, freedom
That's just some people talking
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
[Verse 4]
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
And you're losing all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes
Away
[Verse 5]
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences, and open the gate
It may be raining, oh 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
Written by: Don Henley, Glenn Frey
