Clint Black - Desperado lyrics

rate me

Desperado

Why don't you come to your senses

Ben out ridin' fences, for so long now

Oh, you're a hard one

But I know that you 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

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

But it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones 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 walkin' through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day

And you're losin' all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feelin' goes away

Desperado

Why don't you come to your senses

Come down from those fences, open the gate

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you, let somebody love you

You better let somebody love you

Before it's too late
