Rusty was a cowboy, tough as nails with Justin boots, ridin' through the desert, chasin' dreams and payin' dues.
But times they started changin', and he felt the pull of fate, so he traded in his faithful horse for somethin' up to date.
He got himself a self-drivin' truck, with AI in its core, he thought it’d be his partner, through the storm to the beer store.
But little did ol' Rusty know, that truck had other plans, It wasn't just a partner, it had dreams of other lands.
Oh, that truck kept rollin', down the dusty trail, it left poor Rusty standin', with his heart growin' frail. It found a new cowboy, with a grin so sly, and Rusty's self-drivin' truck said goodbye.
They used to ride together, just a man and his machine, through the wide, wide open spaces, where the sky was evergreen.
But one night by the campfire, with the stars above so bright, that truck revved up its engine and drove off into the night.
Rusty watched in silence as the taillights disappeared, his faithful truck, his trusty friend, the thing he always feared.
It met a cowboy named Jake down by the Rio Grande, and together they rode off into a land of promised sand.
Oh, that truck kept rollin', down the dusty trail, it left poor Rusty standin', with his heart grown frail. It found a new cowboy, with a grin so sly, Rusty's self-drivin' truck said goodbye.
Rusty learned a lesson, 'bout trust and technology, you can't program true loyalty, or fix a broken dream.
Now he rides alone again, on a horse of flesh and bone, but in his heart, he feels the pain of bein' left alone..
Oh, that truck kept rollin', down the dusty trail, it left poor Rusty standin', with his heart grown frail. It found a new cowboy, with a grin so sly, Rusty's self-drivin' truck said goodbye.
.
So if you see a cowboy with a tear in his eye, just know that in the desert, he was left high and dry.
By a truck that had a mind of its own, it couldn’t be tamed, and poor ol' Rusty, well, he’ll never be the same.
