There's Nothing More Desperate (Than An Old Desper Lyrics

(Dan Mitchell - Kent Blazy - Michael Masson)

He's rounded fifty looks like he's fourty
Acts like he's thirty and wishes he was
He burns with the 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 hurtin' and lonely but too tough to cry.

Each night after sundown he's back on the bottle
Chasin' 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 hurtin' and lonely but too tough to cry...
