Lyrics Desperado (Live) - Lynn Anderson

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences, for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one, but I know, that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you, can hurt you somehow

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

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin', no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom, well, that's just some people talking
Your prison, is walkin' through this world, all alone

Don't your feet get cold, in the wintertime?
The sky won't snow, and the sun, won't shine
It's hard to tell the nighttime, from the day
You're losing all your highs, and lows
Ain't it funny, how the feelin', 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
(Let somebody, love you)
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late
