We need to invest in some better life insurance for Katie after watching that outro again.... But seriously, we love the Eagles and this was such a fun song to cover!
People often ask how we choose who sings lead on what songs. Normally, it is pretty obvious to us based on the style and who brought the song to the group who should sing lead, but this one was more of a fun process.
Ellen brought “Desperado“ to the group with a pretty straightforward arrangement in October of 2021. We got caught up with Christmas music and shows and it went to the back burner until this summer. Ellen already had a few songs in the works so Emmett suggested Katie sing lead, and the arrangement Katie came up with is just stunning.

►LYRICS - Desperado
Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
You’ve been out ridin’ fences for so long now
Well, you’re a hard one
I know that you’ve got your reasons
These things that are pleasin’ you
Can hurt you somehow
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
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
Desperado, no, no you ain’t gettin’ no younger
Your pain and your hunger
Well, 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
Don’t your feet get cold in the wintertime?
The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine
It’s hard to tell the nighttime from the day
You’re losin’ all your highs and lows
Ain’t it funny how the feelin’ goes away?
Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
Why don’t you come to your senses? (Desperado)
Why don’t you come to your senses? (Desperado)
Why don’t you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences now and open the gate
It may be rainin’ but there’s a rainbow above you
You’d better let somebody love you
(Let somebody love you)
You’d better let somebody love you
(Why don’t you let somebody love you?)
You’d better let somebody love you
Before it’s too late
It’s too late
It’s too late
