Rhinestone Cowboy

I've been walking these streets so long

Singing the same old song

I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway

Where hustle is the name of the game

And nice guys get washed away like snow in the rain

There's been a load of compromising

On the road to my horizon

And I'm gonna be where the lights

Are shining 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 coming over the phone

I really don't mind the rain

And a smile can hide all the pain

But you're down when you're riding the train

That's taking the long way

And I dream of the things I'll do

With a subway token and a dollar tucked in my shoe

There'll be a load of compromising

On the road to my horizon

I'm gonna be where the lights are shining 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 coming over the phone

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 coming over the phone

Like a rhinestone cowboy
