During the show's run at M Bar, the song was sung by Sparks and Croach the Tracker, as seen in a clip in episode 37 of the Kevin Pollak Chat Show. That episode may be seen here, and the clip in question begins at 2:44:10. Per Hal Lublin at ECCC 2014, this performance was during the final show at M Bar. It was decided to end the show by having the characters in a possibly romantic relationship before Sparks Nevada canon reset during the move to Largo.

The song was also performed in the M Bar era episode Men on the Moon, released as a part of TAH Treasury's From the Vaults.
The lyrics in all four versions vary. Riding the Galactic Trail was written by Andy Paley with lyrics by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker.
Lyrics - She Blinded me with Technology[]
Mercury
Out upon the crimson frontier
Where the antelope play with the gamma ray deer
Sparks Nevada
You can't even see the Earth from up here
Together
Riding the galactic trail
Mercury
Time to leave your troubles behind
Let's don't pay 'em no nevermind
Sparks Nevada
Cyberhorses ain't the worrying kind
Together
Riding the galactic trail
Mercury
Yippie ki-yi-yay
Sparks Nevada
Whatever happened to "neigh"?
Mercury
Yippie ki-yi-yo
Sparks Nevada
I guess if you say so
Mercury
Two moons lighting up in the sky
They're shining down for a horse and his guy
Sparks Nevada
Still I have this tear in my eye
Together
Riding the galactic trail!
Riding the galactic trail!
Riding the galactic trail!
(Reprise)[]
Together
Comets flying just overhead
Cares are better left unsaid
Wouldn't rather be nowheres instead
Than riding the galactic trail
Riding the galactic trail with you!
Riding the galactic trail!
Lyrics - Mortified on Mars[]

Barkeep
You can't even see the Earth from up here
Sparks and Barkeep
Riding the galactic trail
Sparks Nevada
Time to leave your troubles behind
Let's don't pay 'em no nevermind
(Barkeep: Yeah, because your troubles don't include being stabbed.)
(Sparks: Come on now, sing the song.)
Sparks and Barkeep
Riding the galactic trail
Sparks
Yippie ki-yi-yay
Cookie
I'm cooking some paella
(Sparks: Really?)
Sparks Nevada
Yippie ki-yi-yo
Highwayman Dan
Hey, this here is a song I know
(Sparks Nevada: Then sing it!)
Sparks and Dan
Stars are hanging just overhead
Cares, they're better left unsaid
Highwayman Dan
Wouldn't rather be nowheres instead
(Sparks: Aww.)
Sparks, Barkeep, Dan and Cookie
Than Riding the galactic trail!
Sparks Nevada
With you
Sparks, Barkeep, Dan and Cookie
Riding the galactic trail!
Alex
With you!
(Sparks: Yeah!)
All
Riding the galactic trail!

Croach
Out upon the crimson frontier
Where the antelope play with the gamma-ray deer
You can even see the Earth from up here

Let's don't pay 'em no nevermind
You and me we ain't the worrying kind

Croach: I refuse to iterate nonsense syllables.
Sparks
Yippie kai yai yo
Croach: Even for my hero.

Wouldn't rather be nowheres instead
Than riding the galactic trail
Croach: With you.
Riding the galactic trail
Sparks: With you!
Riding the galactic trail!
