little help

Anyone know the title of the song with the lyrics

"I rode through the desert on a horse with no name,

Felt good to be out of the rain"?

[DjCiD]

i think its America or Cream, im not sure... but it goes a lil something like this:

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

{Refrain}

I been through the desert on a horse with no name

It felt good to be out of the rain

In the desert your can remember your name

Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

(la 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 riverbed

And the story it told of a river that flowed

Made me sad to think it was dead

You see...

{Refrain}

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 cities lies a heart made of ground

But the humans will give no love

You see, ...

(Refrain)

America (artist) Horse With No Name (title)

a snipit from that link of Gobs...

The song's resemblance to Neil Young's work stirred some grumbling as well. Coincidentally or not, it was "A Horse With No Name" that bumped Young's "Heart Of Gold" out of the #1 slot on the U.S. Pop chart. "I know that virtually everyone, on first hearing, assumed it was Neil," Bunnell says. "I never fully shied away from the fact that I was inspired by him. I think it's in the structure of the song as much as in the town of my voice. It did hurt a little, because we got some pretty bad backlash. I've always attributed it more to people protecting their own heroes more than attacking me."
