I know you were lonely till you found yourself with us Now we’re the only company you need to find comfort in the night
Bank robbery is your life
We gave you a knife
We gave you a Smith & Wesson
We Gave you ourselves to trust on Women get out of our way
'Cause if you stay you gotta pray for your lives
We came today to check out the situation
But we’ll be back soon in full attack
Tonight we’ll drink till dawn
As we sing our outlaw songs
Ten thousand heartaches, Baby — ten thousand heartaches now
Ten thousand heartaches, Baby — could never break this cowboy heart of mine
We kill all the men and rape all the women
Sometimes we even shoot down the children
Outlaws don’t feel no pity and outlaws is what we are
We both come floating down the street
We shoot down anyone we see
Outlaws don’t feel no pity, because of what we are
We sing desperados
We are the desperados
We brought the death to El Dorado
We are the desperados, we’re like tornadoes
This town won’t ever rise up again, And you’ll never see us again
And the woman who tried to break my heart
Now her head and body are apart
The tales we tell for generations to come about the fires
And somewhere in the night you can still hear the melody
But it’s the memory that’s scaring you
Don’t look back!
