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

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

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

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

[brigde]

   Dm    G       Am
It was a greater slaughter
         Dm          G      Am
Than the battle with copper indians
Dm       G         Am
Popping bottle cap guns
       Dm           G       Am
But no match for the mighty Sun

[Outro]

Am
This neverending road im on
      C         G           Am
Ill be another psychedelic trail
Am
Soon with my rubber comrades
      C          G           Am
Im no rhinestone cowboy afterall
     C        G       Am
Im a lonely rubber cowboy
    C       G        Am
A melting rubber cowboy
