Desperado Lyrics

Desperado lyrics

I'm a gambler and I'm a runner

But you knew that when you lay down

I'm a picture of ugly stories

I'm a killer and I'm a clown



Step into the street by sundown

Step into your last goodbye

You're a target just by living

Twenty dollars will make you die



I wear lace and I wear black leather

My hands are lightning up on my gun

My shots are clean, my shots are final

My shots are deadly and when it's done



You're as stiff as my smoking barrel

You're as dead as a desert night

You're a notch and I'm a legend

You're at peace and I must hide



Tell where the hell I'm going

Let my bones fall in the dust

Can't you hear that ghost that's calling

As my colt begins to rust, in the dust



I'm a killer, I'm a clown

I'm a priest that's gone to town
