Rhinestone Cowboy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 taking the long way And I dream of the things I'll do With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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
