Desperade, why don't you come to your senses
You've been out riding fences so long now
Oh you're ahard one
And I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you
Can hurt you some how

Don't you drive, the Queen of Diamond boy
She'll beat you if she's able
Another Queen of Hearts is always your best pet
Now seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can get

Desperade, you ain't getting up young
You're painting you're hunger
They're driving you on
And freedom, oh freedom
Well, that's just some people talking
Your present is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky won't show and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losing all your highs and lows
And funny how the feeling goes the way

Desperade, why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences open the gate
It may be raining but these's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
you better let somebody love you
Before it's too late
