Lyrics
Desperado
=========
DESPERADO
I stepped in the morning sun
In my hand I held a gun
I was fast or so they say
I didn't think it'd end this way
DESPERADO
Just a lad of 17
I grew up hungry cold and mean
All I want is to be free but the dead
they follow me
I'd put my guns up on a shelf
But I can't run from myself
Every night I have a dream of
dead faces I have seen
DESPERADO
just a lad of 17 , I grew up hungry,
cold and mean , all I want is to be free but the dead
they follow me
with my back against the wall , I listen for
bootsteps in the hall , in the night I lie in
bed with a Colt beneath my head
DESPERADO
just a lad of 17 ,I grew up hungry, cold and
mean, all I want is to be free but the dead
they follow me
Every night I lie and wait for the gods
to seal my fate and in my struggle to survive.
I wind up more dead than alive
DESPERADO
just a lad of 17 I grew up hungry, cold and mean,
all I want is to be free but the dead they follow me
