There was a casino out in Vegas Had a million dollars on the wall Got my imagination workin' overtime I knew I had to have it all I knew I had to have it all Sherrie was a dancer, she was a schemer We came up with a fool-proof plan She was workin' it from the inside I was her getaway man yeah, I was her getaway man Takin' it deep down into Mexico No turnin' back once you go down that road Just one place for a desperate Desperado to go Take it deep down into Mexico It all went smooth and sweet as honey We got it all and nobody got hurt He and Sherrie, we were countin' our money When that gun slid out of her purse That little gun slid out of her purse That's when she told me 'bout her lover man That's when I knew I was in a terrible mess She took the blame, he took the money I took a bullet in my chest I took a bullet in my chest Takin' it deep down into Mexico No turnin' back once you go down that road Just one place for a desperate Desperado to go Take it deep down into Mexico
