I ride across the plain
Wherever danger calls
My gun's for hire if you should need me
I can go where danger leads me
For I'm the man, the one they call
Desperado, desperado
And there's no one alive I fear
For when you've got nothing to lose
It don't matter how hard you fall
Your fate you can pick and choose
'Cause you're ready to risk your all
I ride across the plain
Alone with just a gun
For no one knows better than I know
Trouble goes wherever I go
For I'm the man, the one they call
Desperado, desperado
And there's no one alive I fear
No, there's nothing that I've got to lose
And if I die, then it's destiny
When a man is a real desperado
That's the way it's gotta be
