That definitions is as accurate as could be expected, until he missed the Eagles lyrics. "Out riding fences" is accurate because in those days, any fenced land was obviously protected by the local Sheriff and/or the United States Army. This is not a boundary of trespass that a wanted man would want to risk imposing himself on unless in the most dire circumstances. It say's nothing of mending fences in the song.
A Desperado would not venture on a rancher's fenced land for fear of being hung as a cattle thief.
