Lyrics
Born again Christians are knocking at his door
Only to find he don’t live there no more
When the canons were fired, his body was killed
The Devil smiled and the wind stood still
Desperado, come back home, come back home
One man marching in an army of ghosts
A dead man walking with a ball in his throat
Heaven forgive him for the things he has said
To keep on living after he’s dead
Desperado, come back home, come back home
A piece of my heart is buried in his tomb
The things we carried left to loom
Pleasure and pain, lust and remorse
Keep him fighting, a fiery corpse
Desperado, come back home, come back home
If you see him in Hell, He’ll be writing it down
Like he did here, cause it kept him around
