One Of These Nights, I’m going to Take It Easy and check into the Hotel California. No Witchy Woman is going to keep me from having a Peaceful Easy Feeling. (I might need to bring a mp3 player along)
Until then, Lisleman is providing you his analysis of the messages found in the song Desperado.
This song was hit for The Eagles and Linda Ronstadt. I didn’t know until my youtube searching that Karen Carpenter did a cover of it too. (I included the clip for you play while reading)
UPDATE - Lawyer attack. I just noticed the Karen Carpenter version was taken down by the owners (obviously not Karen) of the copyright. Please enjoy the Carrie Underwood version at least until the next lawyer attack.

Side note stuck here in the middle (nobody reads my sidebar) - I still chuckle remembering the story of my wife thinking this song was written by the college friend who sang it often. She had been living overseas when The Eagles had their hit with it.
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
(being stubborn and overly opinionated just makes life harder)
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Can hurt you somehow
(old reasons fade with time - embrace the change)
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
(her big heart not her bling is more important in the long run)
Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
(what you don’t know that the grass is greener thing is a big mistake? It's not having what you want. It's wanting what you've got. - Sheryl Crow)
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
(you’ll notice that more and more every year)
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
(oh sure you’re free to do anything with nobody)
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
(don’t get me started on this crazy winter weather)
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
(highs and lows are found in everyone’s life - if you lose all of them you should seek medical attention)
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
(you need to look up from your smartphone to see rainbows)
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late.
(readers - better leave a comment before it’s too late)
