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 I'm on Ill be another psychedelic trail Soon with my rubber comrades I'm no rhinestone cowboy afterall I'm a lonely rubber cowboy A melting rubber cowboy
