lyrics

This heat is unbearable in Albuquerque
I’m a-lost in the desert cowboy on a bicycle
My trusty steed ran away
There’s fried eggs sizzling On the lava-hot ground
and I just had a fight with a disagreeable volcano
who’d seen my horse outta town
The yellow pages
Got nothin’ for middle of nowhere bicycle repair
If only my bronco came round, boy, woah boy…
Cycle past an RV Along the horseshoe pass
My fried shoelaces all tangled up in the spokes again
My mule could‘a got me home fast
Hopes fade like the dust path You didn’t wanna go down
I got what I deserve, I’m cowboy on a bicycle
And you’ve cantered away through the clouds
