On the first part of the jour- ney I was look-ing 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 de-sert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain. In the de-sert you can re-mem-ber your name, 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain. La la la-ha la la la la la la la-ah. La la la la-ha la la la la la la la-ah. Af-ter two days in the de-sert sun, My skin be-gan to turn red. Af-ter three days in the de-sert fun I was look-ing at a ri-ver bed. And the sto-ry it told of a ri-ver that flowed made me sad to think it was dead. You see I've been through the de-sert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain. In the de-sert you can re-mem-ber your name, 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain. La la la la-ha la la la la la la la-ah. La la la la-ha la la la la la la la-ah. Af-ter nine days I let the horse run free, 'Cause the de-sert had turned to sea. There were plants and birds and rocks and things there was sand and hills and rings. The o-cean is a de-sert with it's life un-der-ground And a per-fect dis-guise a-bove. Un-der the ci-ties lies a heart made of ground But the hu-mans will give no love. You see I've been through the de-sert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain. In the de-sert you can re-mem-ber your name, 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain. La la la la-ha la la la la la la la-ah. La la la la-ha la la la la la la la-ah.
