[Intro] [drum fill, echoing vocals] Desperado Runnin' away from the world Oh, it's gone cold [Verse 1] Heard they found some old bones, dinosaurs, brontosaurus Still lookin' for the best of us, the rest of us turn to dust Turn it up Got a little bit left in the trunk Lost friends I could never replace And one went and gave her away All the flowers that I bought in bouquets How I bought 'em all when they wither away Another eulogy, I'm out of excuses Took me some bruises to figure out who it was [Pre-Chorus] I was (I was), oh, I was (I was) I was (I was), oh, I was (I was) Desperado Runnin' away from the world Oh, it's gone cold [Chorus] [descending electric guitar riff] Desperado (Desperado) Runnin' away from the world Oh, it's gone cold [Verse 2] I'm no good with rejection Lemme get one more second All the time we wasted I wish I could replace it Gotta tell me somethin' Tell me somethin' good Got my ears to the ground In the neighborhood I know you got 'em in line, I see 'em waiting If you need someone to call, I'll keep my phone on Don't worry, I'll stay on my own side I just wanna see you one more time [Pre-Chorus] I was (I was), oh, I was (I was) I was (I was), oh, I was (I was) Desperado Runnin' away from the world Oh, it's gone cold
