"Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow"

I think ole Don had something specifically on his mind when he wrote this. I'm not sure if i have the gumption to deviate from its meaning.
