Lyrics

[Intro]
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
[Verse 1]
I've seen the Joshua Tree
Got down on my knees
Threw the Virgin Mother a prayer
I've walked glass barefooted
Strolled 'cross the devil's hot coals
I've tried everything, I swear
[Chorus]
Oh, but hey what can I say? (Hey)
I'm a desperate man
I said hey what can I say? (Hey)
I'm just a desperate man
[Verse 2]
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
[Verse 3]
Fortuneteller told me
"No more last chances
You got no future at all"
Oh, but I ain't listenin'
You black-hearted gypsy
With a crucifix through her bedroom wall
[Chorus]
Hey what can I say? (Hey)
I'm a desperate man
I said hey what can I say? (Hey)
I'm just a desperate man
[Verse 4]
Oh, yeah
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
[Bridge]
Yeah, I'm a half-cock, full-tilt, scarred-hands-to-the-hilt
Don't-push-me grown-ass man
Yeah, flashin' light caution, careful where ya cross son
Till she comes back again
[Chorus]
Yeah, hey what can I say? (Hey)
I'm a desperate man
Oh, hey what can I say? (Hey)
I'm just a desperate man
Oh, hey I said hey (Hey, hey)
Whoa, what can I say? I'm a desperate man
Oh, hey I said hey (Hey, hey)
I'm just a desperate man
[Verse 5]
Oh, yeah
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Grown-ass man
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
[Outro]
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
Boo, boo, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo
