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 in the rain

There's been a load of compromising
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 the 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' cards and letters from people I don't even know
Like a rhinestone cowboy
