[Chorus 1]
Life, is uphill all the way
For those who choose the game to play
Ahh, the desperado
And life, is uphill all the way
And just gets deeper everyday
For the desperado

[Verse 1]
Livin' with the wind
Searching for a friend
Hoping 'round the bend
This loneliness will end

[Chorus 2]
Life, is uphill all the way
And all the dreams just fade away
For the desperado

(Solo)

[Verse 2]
Living by the gun
Is a road with no return
Always on the run
Like raindrops in the sun
[Chorus 3]
Life, is uphill all the way
And all the drеams just fade away
For the despеrado

[Instrumental to fade-out]
