Roll on desperado
Run on back to them hills
Roll on desperado
Move on before you're found
Better cover up you've spent some time showing your face
Now they know a little more of you than they should
Seems this time you've got away and you'll be alright
But the burden that you bear from what you lost is now a poison in your mind
Roll on Desperado
Run on back to them hills
Roll on Desperado
Move on before you're found
Never knew something as beautiful is something you can't steal
After all the towns you've run across just to get your fill
Thought you'd settle down and surely find some better days
But the gavel in your mind from all the crime has kept you riding in the rain
All those endless nights you've had to spend alone
Have calloused you bitter to the bone
So roll on desperado
Caught you on the border line sleeping on the ground
Del Rio ain't no place for a wanted man out running from the hounds
Bound you up and dragged you off to the gallows pole
Better say a prayer if you'd like the chance in fighting for your soul
Desperado
