America A Horse With No Name Lyrics

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 a sky with no clouds.

The heat was hot

 and the ground was dry

 but the air was full of sound.



[chorus]

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't remember your name

'cause there ain't noone

 for to give you no pain.



After two days in the desert sun

 my skin began to turn red.

After three days in the desert sun

 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.



[chorus]



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 its life underground

 and a perfect disguise above.

Under the city

 lies a heart made of ground

 but the humans will give no love.



[chorus]
