Rhinestone Cowboy

I've been walking these streets so long

Singing the same old song

Though every crack in these dirty sidewalks of broadway

Hustles the name of the game

And nice guys get washed away

Like the snow and the rain

There's been a load of compromising

On the road to my horizon

But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me

Like a rhinestone cowboy

Riding out on the horse in the star spangled rodeo

Like a rhinestone cowboy

Getting curls and letters from people I don't even know

Lovers coming over the phone

Well I really don't mind the rain

And the smile can't hide all the pain

And you're down when you're riding the trains

Taking the long way

And I dream of the things I do

With the subway token

And the dollar tucked inside my shoes

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

Driving out on the horse and the star spangled rodeo

Like a rhinestone cowboy

Getting cars and letters from people I don't even know

And I was coming over the phone

Like a rhinestone cowboy

Riding out on the horse and the star spangled rodeo

Like a rhinestone cowboy

Getting curls and letters from people I don't even know

And offers coming over the phone
