Originally titled ‘Desert Song’, ‘A Horse with No Name’ had its origins in the miserable rain. Dewey Bunnell of the band America claimed that he ‘wanted to capture the imagery of the desert, because he was sitting in this room in England, and it was rainy. The rain was starting to get to us, and I wanted to capture the desert and the heat and the dryness.’ The song was retitled ‘A Horse with No Name’, with the desert imagery in the song’s lyrics inspired by Dewey Bunnell’s childhood memories. He had grown up in California and spent a lot of time near Vandenberg Air Force Base, as well as being driven through Arizona and New Mexico. Lyrics for A Horse With No Name by America - Songfacts
