卡朋特乐队翻唱老鹰乐队的歌曲，老鹰的传奇开始于1972年，首张同名专辑《Eagles》的推出虽然造就三首单曲Take It Easy、Witchy Woman、Peaceful Easy Feeling，但他们并未一炮而红。第二张专辑《Desperado》概念性极强，标题曲Desperado和Tequila Sunrise都是人人哼唱的慢板佳作。

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

You been out ridin' fences for so long now

Oh, you're a hard one

But I know that you got your reasons

These things that are pleasin' you

Can hurt you somehow

 

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds boy

She'll beat you if she's able

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

 

Now it seems to me, some fine things

Have been laid upon your table

But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger

Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home

And freedom, oh freedom well,

that's just some people talkin'

Your prison is walking through this world all alone

 

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine

It's hard to tell the night time from the day

You're losin' all your highs and lows

Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

 

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?

Come down from your fences, open the gate

It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you

You better let somebody love you

(let somebody love you)

You better let somebody love you

before it's too late
