Some questions in the lyrics.
Would you like to help me to slove some problems?
I'm a girl like listening to English song.
But,there are some lyrics that I can't translate.
For example:
<desperado>:
You been out ridin'fences for so long now.
These things that are pleasin'you.
What's the "ridin'fences"and the"pleasin'"mean???

This is Desperado! :) In American songs, words ending in -ing are often shortened to -in'
The song Desperado invented the term "riding fences", I think. Imagine a cowboy, riding his horse around the fences of his ranch, alone, making sure the fences are not broken and that everything is okay. It's a bit of a lonely lyric.
Pleasin' is pleasing. "These things that are pleasing you" means "These things that you like a lot".
