America - Horse with No Name


On the first part of the journey - I was looking at all the life - There were plants and birds and rocks and things - There was sand and hills and rings - The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz - And the sky with no clouds - The heat was hot and the ground was dry - But the air was full of sound
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name - It felt good to be out of the rain - In the desert you can remember your name - 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain - La, la ...
After two days in the desert sun - My skin began to turn red - After three days in the desert fun - I was looking at a river bed - And the story it told of a river that flowed - Made me sad to think it was dead
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name - It felt good to be out of the rain - In the desert you can remember your name - 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain - La, la ...
After nine days I let the horse run free - 'Cause the desert had turned to sea - There were plants and birds and rocks and things - there was sand and hills and rings - The ocean is a desert with it's life  - underground - And a perfect disguise above - Under the cities lies a heart made of ground - But the humans will give no love
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name - It felt good to be out of the rain - In the desert you can remember your name - 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain - La, la ...
