Lyrics Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash

Desperado

Desperado, why don`t you come to your senses

You`ve 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 pleasing you can hurt you somehow

Don`t you draw the queen of diamonds, boy

Shall beat you if she`s 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 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 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

Youre 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 your fences and open thegate

It may berainin`, but theres 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
