Desperate Man lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’ve seen the Joshua Tree
Got down on my knees
Threw the Virgin Mother a prayer
I walked on glass barefooted
And across the Devil’s Backbone
I’ve done everything I swear

[Chorus]
But hey (hey) what can I say?
I’m a desperate man
Hey (hey) what can I say?
I’m a desperate man

[Verse 2]
Fortune teller told me
“No more last chances
You’ve got no future at all”
But I ain’t listening to some black-hearted gypsy
Who ain’t got a crucifix on her wall

[Chorus]
Hey (hey), what can I say?
I’m a dеsperate man
Hey (hеy), what can I say?
I’m a desperate man
[Bridge]
I’m a half-c*cked, full-tilt
Scarred hands, stone hilt
Don’t push me I’m a grown ass man
I’m flashing light caution
Careful who you cross, son
I’m reckless 'til she come back again

[Chorus]
Hey (hey) what can I say?
Oh I’m a desperate man
Hey (hey) what can I say?
I’m a desperate man
I said hey (hey) what can I say?
I'm a desperate man
Oh hey (hey) What can I say?
I’m a desperate man
Hey (hey)
I’m a desperate man
