Johnny Cash Desperado Lyrics

Desperado Lyrics

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.
