I heard it was or is it an "urban legend".

Urban legend, dear. "Horse With No Name" was inspired by a painted portrait of a stallion running free and wild in a desert type background, seen in a museum of natural history--nothing more.
Lyrically, the song's an artpiece itself because of it's the pure thoughts of a child's innocent mind and imagination--looking at a simple picture--and unfolding his own story from it.

America was formed in England by sons of US servicemen who were stationed there. Lead singer Dewey Bunnell wrote this when he was 19. He based the images in the lyrics on things he saw while visiting the US. IT IS NOT ABOUT DRUGS!
