(Larry Weiss)
|
Keepin' walkin' these streets so long singin' the same old song
|
He knows every crack on those 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 his horison
|
But he's gonna be where the lights are shinin' on him
|
Like a Rhinestone Cowboy ridin' out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
|
Like a Rhinestone Cowboy gettin' cards and letter from people he don't even know
|
And offers coming over the phone
|
|
He 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 he dreams of the things he'll do
|
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside his shoe
|
There'll be a load of compromisin'...
|
Like a Rhinestone Cowboy...
