Desperado Langley Schools Music Project

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You’ve been out ridin' fences
So long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you’ve 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
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 things
That you can't get

Desperado
Oh, you ain't getting no younger
Your pain and your hunger
They're driving you home
And freedom, oh, freedom
Well, that’s just some people talking
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 losing all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes
Away
