Desperado

Desperado.. Searching for my fate Lost and traveling Trying to redeem my reckless ways I'm kicking up the dust On this dusty ol' back road Searching, seeking To redeem my outlawed soul At a lonely crossroad Fleeing from my broken past It's a lasso around my neck But I know it's something Any cowgirl can surpass I'm going to hightail it Just as fast as I can go They can eat my dust I'm doing what needs to be done You can't catch me, desperado. Town to town As I come and leave To me, nobody will speak But I hear their whispers Through the streets "Bandit, robber That slippery eel.. Running from the law Cold hearted, never shed a tear." My heart may be rusty But it sure had my mind torn What kind of crook Do these people take me for? Truth is They'd never believe A word from the mouth As some as misunderstood as me I'm not who I was But I still ain't quite me I guess I'll pack up Until my demons let me be.. I'm not a burglar A crook A con Or jailbird There's more to What you see I won't hang up my hat Til' you believe There's more to me Than you could ever learn I've put out my fire I know it's my turn Don't look at me and see No, I don't want to be Oh, I don't want you to call me Ms. Desperado..
