Under the hot dessert sun
Drinking cactus water
Eating canned beans and barbecued spleens
I'm on a journey with just me and my horse
Rusty stars on my dirty boots

It's hard bein' a rubber cowboy
In an aimless ride-along alone
On my rubber rhinestone horse
We're slowly sinkin' in the sandy dessert sand
We are taking the long way home

My melted rubber cattle
Is a psychedelic trail of goop
Sizzlin' and bubblin' all over
Melted friends sure are quieter
When they're all just trail of blubber

I'm a lonely rubber cowboy
I dreamt of lights
Shining on me
But not like this, Lord!, Not like this
Slowly melting in the sandy dessert sand
A lone survivor of the sweltering sun

It was a greater slaughter
Than the battle with copper indians
Popping bottle cap guns
But no match for the mighty Sun
This neverending road im on
Ill be another psychedelic trail
Soon with my rubber comrades
Im no rhinestone cowboy afterall
Im a lonely rubber cowboy
A melting rubber cowboy
