Don Henley says....it was a song fragment that I had since the late 60's maybe 68. I started that song it wasnt even called Deperado..it was called something else, but it was the same melody & chords. II think it has something to do with astrology (chuckles) Whatever the title was back then,it was horrble (laughs). Jackson Browne suggested a Western theme- something to do with playing cards,I think- which sort of where we were headed anyway. When we returned from England,after making our first album,I was living in a little house,way up in Laurel Canyon.I think Roger McGuinn had lived there previously.It was one of those houses on stilts,and when the winds were high,the house would rock gently.It was sort of unsettling,but I got used to it after a while.

Watch the movie Desperado. If that doesn't define the song for you, nothing will.

Well I think it means whatever you want to mean. When I listen to it I get in touch with my lonely side. the outsider. But it is a kind song, it tried to help. It's comforting.

He is singing to himself. He is desperate and lonely
