Moe Bandy - There's Nothing More Desperate (Than An Old Desper lyrics

rate me

(Dan Mitchell - Kent Blazy - Michael Masson)

He's rounded fifty looks like he's fourty

Acts like he's thirty and wishes he was

He burns with the hunger he had when he was younger

But the flame's not as hot now as it used to be.

There's nothing more desperate than an old desperado

Afraid that he's let all his best days go by

There's nothing more desperate than an old desperado

Who's hurtin' and lonely but too tough to cry.

--- Instrumental ---

Each night after sundown he's back on the bottle

Chasin' young women nearly half of his age

But the whiskey just fools him and the ladies can't soothe him

'Cause yesterday's stronger than the drink in his hand.

There's nothing more desperate than an old desperado

Afraid that he's let all his best days go by

There's nothing more desperate than an old desperado

Who's hurtin' and lonely but too tough to cry...
