Lyrics of Desperado by The Eagles

chorus

Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses?
You've 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

verse

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

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 talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

bridge

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 losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

chorus

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

outro

Thank you
Thank you

outro

Hi
I can tell you for all five of us up here
There's nothing more we appreciate than being able
To play four or five ballads early on, and uh
Have you listen to 'em
So we're gonna kick off our shoes, now
Thank you
Writer(s): Glenn Lewis Frey, Donald Hugh Henley
