Rhinestone Cowboy

Lyrics

I've been walkin' these streets so long  
Singin' the same old song  
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway  
Where hustle's the name of the game  
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain  
There's been a load of compromisin'  
On the road to my horizon  
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me  
  
Like a rhinestone cowboy  
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo  
Like a rhinestone cowboy  
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know  
And offers comin' over the phone  
  
Well, I really don't mind the rain  
And a smile can hide all the pain  
But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way  
And I dream of the things I'll do  
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe  
There'll be a load of compromisin'  
On the road to my horizon  
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me  
  
Like a rhinestone cowboy  
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo  
Rhinestone cowboy  
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know  
And offers comin' over the phone  
  
Like a rhinestone cowboy  
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo  
  
Like a rhinestone cowboy  
Gettin' card and letters from people I don't even know
