Oh bum! I should have got that! (Is there point for 'should have'? I was singing it the other day AND it was one of the first albums I bought.

Rode fiery horses through the snow Snow covered hills snow covered miles Miles and miles of traveling to go And they were wild and free Happy as could be in America They were wild and free Everything to see in America, in America

Got a feeling @SimplySteveRedux might know this.

I think it's called Carmel? Haven't a clue on the artist, but the songs going round my head (and I'm trying to listen to Darren Hayes!)
