I've been to 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 For there ain't no one for to give you no pain
I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere man, Across the deserts bare, man, I've breathed the mountain air, man Of travel I've done my share, man, I've been everywhere
I was driving across the burning desert, when I spotted six jet planes Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain It was the hexagram of the heavens It was the strings on my guitar Amelia, it was just a false alarm
Go west, young man, haven't you been told, California's full whiskey, women, and gold, Sleepin' out all night beneath the desert stars With a tune in my head and a prayer in my heart.
He say, "We've got the fastest steed from the sands of the Arabian desert. We've got Clyde the Camel!" And then he say, "On, Clyde! On, you great camel!" And Clyde say, "Mmmmrrrghhh!" which is Camel for "Don't bug me, man, I'm pullin' this sled fast as I can!"

Cool wind in my hair

I've been to 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
For there ain't no one for to give you no pain
(Dewey Bunnell, sung by America, 1972)
I've seen you in Albuquerque waitin' out a blizzard

I'd like to sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a million stars all around

And wonder if they're looking at a mighty happy man?
Or just a lonely breeze that drifts across the endless desert sand?

I've been everywhere, man,
I've been everywhere man,
Across the deserts bare, man,
I've breathed the mountain air, man
Of travel I've done my share, man,
I've been everywhere

She won't desert me
She's an angel sent to me

(I really wanted to post something from Maria Muldaur's "Midnight at the Oasis," but when I sang it in my head the word "desert" isn't in the lyrics!)
You can reach me by caravan
cross the desert like an Arab man
I don't care how you get here, just
get here if you can...
---Oleta Adams, "Get Here"
I was driving across the burning desert, when I spotted six jet planes
Leaving six white vapor trails across the bleak terrain
It was the hexagram of the heavens
It was the strings on my guitar
Amelia, it was just a false alarm
"Amelia," Goddess Joni Mitchell

getting out of that old dust bowl

Out west of the Great Divide
Cowboy's Sweetheart
Performed by a bunch of people
Go west, young man, haven't you been told,
California's full whiskey, women, and gold,
Sleepin' out all night beneath the desert stars
With a tune in my head and a prayer in my heart.

He say, "We've got the fastest steed from the sands of the Arabian desert.
We've got Clyde the Camel!"
And then he say, "On, Clyde! On, you great camel!"
And Clyde say, "Mmmmrrrghhh!"
which is Camel for "Don't bug me, man,
I'm pullin' this sled fast as I can!"
