Desperate Man
Album: Co-Starring Too
I’ve seen the Joshua Tree
Got down on my knees
Threw The Virgin Mother a prayer
I Walked through glass barefooted
And across the Devil’s Backbone
I’ve done everything I swear
I said hey (hey) What can I say?
I’m a desperate man
I said hey (hey)
I’m a desperate man
Fortune teller told me
“No more last chances,
You’ve got no future at all”
I ain’t listening to a black hearted gypsy
Who ain’t got a crucifix on her bedroom wall
I said hey (hey) What can I say?
I’m a desperate man
I said hey (hey)
I’m a desperate man
I’m a halfcocked full tilt
Scarred hands stone hilt
Don’t push me I’m a grown ass man
I’m flashing light caution
Careful who you cross son
I’m wild till she come back again
I said hey (hey) What can I say?
I’m a desperate man
I said hey (hey)
I’m a desperate man
