Desperado lyrics

Artist  : Johnny Cash 
Song : Desperado
 


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'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.
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 things 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
talkin'
Your prison is walking,
Through
this world all alone.

And don't your feet
get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't
snow, the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell
the night time from the day
You're loosin' all
your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the
feeling,
Goes away?

Desperado, why
don't you come to your senses?
Come down from
your fences, and open the gate
It may be
rainin', but there's a rainbow above you,
You
better let somebody love you,
You better let
somebody love you,
You better let somebody
love you,
Before it's too late.
