Desperado
Looks like I'm headed to the border
As a thief with guns and lies
I tried so hard, but the well ran dry
I pleaded with the banker
Man I'm sure there's time to spare
He had no mercy, claiming money is never fair
Well there's no forgiveness for the aching in my back
You cant play fair when there's nothing left
So I pulled that double barrel, squeezed the trigger, took the cash
Headed south, where law runs out
Became a gambling man
Desperate times need desperate measures
Quick to the draw my friend
With a flimsy trigger
Desperado, on the run
Pushed to the razors edge
Armed with lies and thievery
Well its just too bad, the winner always deals
His left hand gives while his right hand steals
I tried my best at cheating, kept the joker in my sleeve
A wildcard effort just to get the cards I need
But its...
Two steps forward and three steps back
You cant play fair l against a loaded deck
But I got a 44, that I stole from my old man
My last ditch effort
Will let me leave with what I can...
Desperate times need desperate measures
Quick to the draw my friend
With a flimsy trigger
Desperado, on the run
Forced to the razors edge
Armed with lies and thievery
No I never planed on living
As a wanted dangerous man
I can't believe
My honest means have lead
To a life of blood and ransom
To a life of robbery
I can't believe
This vagabond I've been
Just to get by
Just to get by
Just to get by
As a thief with guns and lies
I tried so hard, but the well ran dry
I pleaded with the banker
Man I'm sure there's time to spare
He had no mercy, claiming money is never fair
Well there's no forgiveness for the aching in my back
You cant play fair when there's nothing left
So I pulled that double barrel, squeezed the trigger, took the cash
Headed south, where law runs out
Became a gambling man
Desperate times need desperate measures
Quick to the draw my friend
With a flimsy trigger
Desperado, on the run
Pushed to the razors edge
Armed with lies and thievery
Well its just too bad, the winner always deals
His left hand gives while his right hand steals
I tried my best at cheating, kept the joker in my sleeve
A wildcard effort just to get the cards I need
But its...
Two steps forward and three steps back
You cant play fair l against a loaded deck
But I got a 44, that I stole from my old man
My last ditch effort
Will let me leave with what I can...
Desperate times need desperate measures
Quick to the draw my friend
With a flimsy trigger
Desperado, on the run
Forced to the razors edge
Armed with lies and thievery
No I never planed on living
As a wanted dangerous man
I can't believe
My honest means have lead
To a life of blood and ransom
To a life of robbery
I can't believe
This vagabond I've been
Just to get by
Just to get by
Just to get by
