Текст пісні
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, but I know that you've got your reasons
There's things that are pleasing you can hurt you somehow
Don't you try the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
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 you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't getting no younger
Your pain and your hunger, oh, they're driving you home
And freedom, oh, freedom, that's just some people talking
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't you think it cold in the wintertime?
The skies don't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day
Losing all your highs and lows, ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
It goes away
And desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences and open the gate
It may be raining, oh, but there's a rainbow above
Better let somebody love you
Don't you know I want to love you?
Better let somebody love you before it's too late
Oh, oh, oh
