"There's Nothing More Desperate (Than An Old Desperado)" lyrics

He's 'round at 50, looks like he's 40
Acts like he's 30 and wishes he was
He burns with a hunger he had when he was younger
But the flame's not as hot now as it used to be

There's nothing more desperate than an old desperado
Afraid that he's let all his best days go by
There's nothing more desperate than an old desperado
Who's hurting and lonely, but too tough to cry

Each night after sundown, he's back on the bottle
Chasing young women nearly half of his age
But the whiskey just fools him and the ladies can't soothe him
'Cause yesterday's stronger than the drink in his hand

There's nothing more desperate than an old desperado
Afraid that he's let all his best days go by
There's nothing more desperate than an old desperado
Who's hurting and lonely, but too tough to cry
