[Verse 1]
I still can picture him: his hands in his back pockets
He wasn't much for words, but when the wise kids made a racket he'd just have to go downtown
Throw his weight around before starting over
"Say did you hear I've got a band?
Some guys I know from L.A
We'll own the Rio Grande
I'll pay you back next Friday
You know it sure isn't big, just some cats I dig
They said they'd do the gig"
[Pre Chorus]
Oh Desperado, why don't you spend your life in Colorado?
Oh Restless Shadow, out in the blue hills you're feeling hollow
[Chorus]
Oh El Diablo, why did you spend your life in California?
I should have warned you
No place to go now but falling over
[Verse 2]
Some hands can't makе it on the run, under the gun
Not for thе younger
Oh Jack Daniels, I feel your hunger
I still can picture him: his hands in his back pockets
He wasn't much for words, but when the wise kids made a racket he'd just have to go downtown
Throw his weight around before starting over
"Say did you hear I've got a band?
Some guys I know from L.A
We'll own the Rio Grande
I'll pay you back next Friday
You know it sure isn't big, just some cats I dig
They said they'd do the gig"
[Pre Chorus]
Oh Desperado, why don't you spend your life in Colorado?
Oh Restless Shadow, out in the blue hills you're feeling hollow
[Chorus]
Oh El Diablo, why did you spend your life in California?
I should have warned you
No place to go now but falling over
[Verse 2]
Some hands can't makе it on the run, under the gun
Not for thе younger
Oh Jack Daniels, I feel your hunger
