Desperado Lyrics

Deep in the south there lived a little town

Never was trouble as long as sheriff was around

Till one day a man rode into this town

Shotgun in hand, he wasn't messin around

Forty-five on his side he kicked in saloon door

Give me your money and get on the floor

He took all the riches, values in sight

Silenced the bartender, no one put up a fight

The next day the community begged and they cried

Will somebody be our savior tonight

The sheriff stepped forward, fist in hand

I'll be the one to take the stand

With god as my witness I'll take this man down

You can't have a sinner trying to run this old town

A desperado by day beating down doors

With god as my witness I'll get him for sure

The sheriff tracked for miles and miles

Found him in a cave, he wasn't willing to save

To his surprise he saw fire in the figures eyes

Something so cold deep within this stone

The devil stood up to greet his next victim

Little did he know what was about to hit him

What you going to do boy, what you going to say

I see you shaking in them boots boy, you just came to play

The devil tried with all his might

We all knew he wasn't winning this fight

The crack of the whip, The earth began to shake

It was then that we knew he had sealed his fate
