"Desperate Man" lyrics

"Desperate Man"
(feat. The Band of Heathens)

I've seen the Joshua Tree
Got down on my knees
Threw The Virgin Mother a prayer
I Walked through glass barefooted
And across the Devil's Backbone
I've done everything I swear

I said hey (hey) What can I say?
I'm a desperate man
I said hey (hey)
I'm a desperate man

Fortune teller told me
"No more last chances
You've got no future at all"
I ain't listening to a black hearted gypsy
Who ain't got a crucifix on her bedroom wall

I said hey (hey) What can I say?
I'm a desperate man
I said hey (hey)
I'm a desperate man

I'm a halfcocked 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 wild till she come back again

I said hey (hey) What can I say?
I'm a desperate man
I said hey (hey)
I'm a desperate man
