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, getting 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, getting cards and letters from people I don't even know ... Like a rhinestone cowboy … Writer(s): Weiss Laurence
