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 BroadwayWhere hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away
Like the snow and the rainThere's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on meLike a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeoLike a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phoneWell, 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 wayAnd I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token
And a dollar tucked inside my shoeThere'll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on meLike a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeoRhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know

And offers comin' over the phoneLike a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeoLike a rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' card and letters from people I don't even know
