Desperado
Eagle Lyrics

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Hey, Desperado, why aren't you thinking clearly and choosing a better path for yourself?

You been out ridin' fences for so long now
You've been wandering aimlessly and avoiding commitments for too long now.

Oh, you're a hard one
You're tough and have a rough exterior, making it hard for others to get close to you.

But I know that you got your reasons
I understand that you have your own motivations for your actions.

These things that are pleasin' you Can hurt you somehow
The things you find enjoyable and appealing may actually cause you harm in some way.

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
Be careful who you associate with, as some may take advantage of you. It's best to choose people who genuinely care about you and your well-being.

Now, it seems to me some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you can't get
You've been given good opportunities and experiences, but you're only interested in the things you can't have.

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
You're not getting any younger, and your suffering and desire for something more are making you want to settle down and find a place to call home.

And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talkin' Your prison is walking through this world all alone
The idea of being free is just a concept some people talk about. In reality, your prison is that you're alone in this world.

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time? The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the night time from the day You're losin' all your highs and lows Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
You're feeling lost and disconnected from the world, and you're having trouble distinguishing day from night. Your emotions are becoming numb and you're losing your sense of joy and sadness.

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? Come down from your 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
Please start thinking clearly and come down from your guarded stance. It may be tough, but there are good things in your future. You need to let someone into your life and allow yourself to be loved before it's too late and you're all alone.
