Well I'm shiftin' gear, doin' ninetyfive
I'm on the run and wanted stone dead or alive
And the cops are out to hunt me down

They chase me like a fox on the run.

I heard the sheriff said he'd rather have

me dead on the radio
And though I drive all day I'm still far away from
Mexico


Hey-go desperado - I'm runnin' away hunted high and low
Hey-go desperado - my life's on the line until Mexico

C'mon desperado, get up and go
C'mon desperado, ayayah.


Now I'm tired out and I need to sleep
I'd like to give it up, but now I'm in too deep
The roads are closed, cops everywhere

I drive into the blocks and say a prayer

But it's too late to pray, and it's too late to say

I regret it now
Cause a rebel without a cause, ain't got a chance anyhow


Well I'm shiftin' gear doin' ninetyfive
And the cops are out to hunt me down
Hey-go desperado, need to sleep

Hey-go desperado, need to sleep
Hey-go desperado, tired out, tired out.
