On a dark desert highway
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
Arizona dancin' cross the desert

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

"Peaceful Easy Feeling," The Eagles

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

The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle,

Oh, that's a good one, Sylvia!!


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

Johnny Cash, but he wasn't the first or the last.

She'll never hurt me
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"

Clarissa said...

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

You fall into my arms at last.
From desert plains I bring you love.

I want to ride through the painted desert
Out west of the Great Divide

Cowboy's Sweetheart
Performed by a bunch of people

Unknown said...

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.

Should've Been a Cowboy
Toby Keith

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!"

Santa Claus is Watchin' You - Ray Stevens (Christmas followup comedy song to Ahab the Arab featuring Clyde the camel.
