Des pe ra do
Why don't you
come to your senses
You've been out ridin' fences
For so long now
Oh you're a hard one
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
Des pe ra do
Oh you ain't
Gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger
They're drivin' you home
And freedom oh freedom well
Just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through
This world all alone
Don't your feet get cold
In the winter time
The sky won't snow
And the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time
From the day
And you're loosin'
All your highs and lows
Ain't it funny
How the feeling goes away
Des pe ra do
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
