Written by Jack E Wilson and Joe Bennett (1987)
desperado theme song (to the tune of solito lindo)
chorus
i, i, i, i, i am a desperado.
i'll sing the next chorus if you’ll find me my horse
and pass me the pina' colada.
verse
i’ll hit the trail if you’ll go my bail
and pass me a pail of tequila.
a little hungover, i feel-a, my cadillac don’t let them steal-a.
repeat chorus
verse
while we’re on the wagon we’re not on the wagon
and we’re not just a braggin' amigo.
cases of beer we drink with good cheer
a beer truck does follow where we go.
repeat chorus
verse
at night when the moon is a big gold balloon
you’ll soon see a desperado
chasing that girl who is out-of-the world.
when he gets one we all say 'muy bravo'
verse
i, i, i, i, i am a desperado.
we drink with our might and stay up all night
and get high as a kite by morning
we depend on our horse, to keep us on course
while shouting and shrieking and moaning.
repeat chorus
verse
out on the trail we don’t get much mail
but that doesn’t really matter
we ride the best to show all the rest
that perfection what we are after.
alterante chorus
i, i, i, i, i am a desperado.
i love it of course, while riding my horse
from Texas to Colorado.
