Their recording success stretched throughout the 1970s; some of the band's best known songs are "A Horse with No Name", "Sister Golden Hair" (both of which reached No. 1), "Ventura Highway", "Tin Man", "Daisy Jane", and "Lonely People".

How 'bout a tear for the year of 1960 
I watched the fins of the Cadillac fall 
I remember Dad explained about the Berlin Wall 

How 'bout a tear for the torment and the trouble 
That was brewing in the Asian way 
I wore a smile like the faces that surround L.A. 

In the city of the lost and found 
It's hard to get a break 
Hard to stop from getting turned around 
And make the same mistakes 

My reputation's on the line 
The final day of '59 
But like the sun, just watch me shine 
Today 

How 'bout a cheer for the piano virtuoso 
I practiced 61 minutes a day 
I could never reach the keys 
But it was all OK 

How 'bout a cheer for the humour in my brother 
That could brighten up the darkest nights 
It's just another sign of love 
Whenever we would fight 

It's all the same twenty years ago 
As it is right now 
Like a tour at the closing show 
When I take my bow 

My reputation's on the line 
At the start of '79 
But like the sun, just watch me shine 
Today 
I've played this part so many times 
Since the end of '59 
But like the sun, just watch me shine 
Today
