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 sounds 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 no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la 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 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't remember your name 'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, 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 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 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 no one for to give you no pain La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la La la, la, la, la la la, la la la, la, la |

We used to laugh
We used to cry We used to bow our heads then Wonder why But now youre gone I guess I'll carry on And make the best of what you've left to me Left to me, left to me I need you Like the flower needs the rain You know, I need you Guess I'll start it all again You know, I need you Like the winter needs the spring You know I need you I need you And every day I'd laugh the hours away Just knowing you were thinking of me Then it came That I was put to blame For every story told about me About me, about me I need you Like the flower needs the rain You know, I need you Guess I'll start it all again You know, I need you Like the winter needs the spring You know I need you I need you, I need you |

Ain't it foggy outside
All the planes have been grounded Ain't' the fire inside Let's all go stand around it Funny, I've been there And you've been here We ain't have no time to drink that beer (Chorus) Cuz' I understand you've been runnin' from the man That goes by the name of the Sandman He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane thats abandond Ain't the years gone by fast I suppose you have missed them Oh I almost forgot to ask Did you hear of my enlistment Funny I've been there And you've been here We ain't have no time to drink that beer Cuz' I understand you've been runnin' from the man That goes by the name of the Sandman He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye of a hurricane thats abandond (Repeat chorus x3) |

Chewing on a piece of grass
Walking down the road Tell me, how long you gonna stay here Joe? Some people say this town don't look Good in snow You don't care, I know Ventura Highway in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger Than moonshine You're gonna go I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through Your hair And the days surround your daylight There Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air Wishin' on a falling star Waitin' for the early train Sorry boy, but I've been hit by Purple rain Aw, come on Joe, you can always Change your name Thanks a lot son, just the same Ventura Highway in the sunshine Where the days are longer The nights are stronger Than moonshine You're gonna go I know 'Cause the free wind is blowin' through Your hair And the days surround you daylight There Seasons crying no despair Alligator lizards in the air |

There's a little girl out lyin' on her own
She's got a broken heart She's not the kind to take you down for long She knows and plays it smart (Ah--) And if she's comin' she's shown no more She's heard no whistle blowin' from the door She feels like leavin' and she don't know why Without no bridges she's trapped, so I sigh Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side All your life You were on your own If you want you can ride my train And soon forget the reason that you're leaving You'll lose yourself and then sometime Maybe even save yourself some grievin' Oh, oh, oh, oh Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't try denyin' livin' on the other side Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide Don't cross the river if you can't swim the tide ... |

Muskrat, muskrat candlelight
Doing the town and doing it right In the evening It's pretty pleasing Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam Do the jitterbug out in muskrat land And they shimmy And Sammy's so skinny And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed Singing and jinging the jango Floating like the heavens above Looks like muskrat love Nibbling on bacon, chewing on cheese Sammy says to Susie, "honey, would you please Be my missus?" And she says yes with her kisses And now he's tickling her fancy, rubbing her toes Muzzle to muzzle, now anything goes As they wriggle And Sue starts to giggle And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed Singing and jinging the jango Floating like the heavens above Looks like muskrat love |

Sometimes late when things are real
And people share the gift of gab between themselves Some are quick to take the bait And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves But Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad. So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles Oh, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me When I say I'm spinning round, round, round, round Smoke glass stain bright color Image going down, down, down, down Soapsuds green like bubbles No, Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man That he didn't, didn't already have And Cause never was the reason for the evening Or the tropic of Sir Galahad So please believe in me |

This is for all the lonely people
Thinking that life has passed them by Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup And ride that highway in the sky This is for all the single people Thinking that love has left them dry Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup You never know until you try Well, I'm on my way Yes, I'm back to stay Well, I'm on my way back home Hit it This is for all the lonely people Thinking that life has passed them by Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup She'll never take you down or never give you up You'll never know until you try |
