Desperado Lyrics

This darkened world is like a lonely road

With dark temptations round every turn

Like crooks and thieves trying to shoot me down

They won't let up and they won't stop now

They've got a warrant with my name

And they're coming after me

And though I'm branded outlaw

I'm justified and I'm free

As an outlaw

I shall wander

As an outcast

I'll carry on

As a stranger

I'll walk the highways

Of this cold and barren road

As an outlaw

Desperado

The world I walk is not my own

I'm just passing through on my way to home

With a fiery heart and a bible in my hand

I will speak my faith all across this land

Now I know that I'm an outlaw

A rebel in this place

But I'm telling you it's worth it all

When you see Him face to face

As an outlaw

I shall wander

As an outcast

I'll carry on

As a stranger

I'll walk the highways

Of this cold and barren road

As an outlaw

Desperado

I've got to keep a moving

I've to carry on

Because the outlaw that I follow

Will be soon coming along

As an outlaw

I shall wander

As an outcast

I'll carry on

As a stranger

I'll walk the highways

Of this cold and barren world

Telling the good word that I've heard

Until the day I'm welcomed home

But until then I'll walk this road

As an outlaw

Desperado
