A Horse No Name Lyrics - Kansas

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 ...
