Desperado Song Lyrics
By The Eagles

Below you'll find the Desperado Song Lyrics along with my full version demo.

Don Henley wrote this song in 1968 and recorded it with The Eagles in 1973. Henley said initially the song was something to do with Astrology when he first pieced it together. It was never released as a single.

--- Start Of Desperado Song Lyrics ---

Desperado ... why dont you come to your senses?
You've been out ridin fences ... for so long now
Oh, youre a hard one ... I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin you ... can hurt you somehow

Dont you draw the queen of diamonds boy .. she'll beat you if shes able
You 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 ones that you cant get

Desperado, ... oh, you aint gettin no younger
Your pain and your hunger ... they're drivin you home
And freedom oh freedom ... well thats just some people talkin
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Dont your feet get cold in the winter time ... the sky wont snow and the sun wont shine
Its hard to tell the night time from the day
Youre loosin all your highs and lows ... aint it funny how the feeling goes
Away

Desperado ... why dont you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences ... open the gate
It may be rainin .. but theres a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you ... (let somebody love you)
You better let somebody love you ... before its too ... late
