Desperado

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.

Love Will Keep Us Alive

I was standing all alone against the world outside.You were searching for a place to hide.Lost and lonely,Now you’ve given me the will to survive.When we’re hungry. . . love will keep us alive. Don’t you worry.Sometimes you’ve just gotta let it ride.The world is changing right before your eyes.Now I’ve found you,There’s no more […]
