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
|
Gettin' 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
|
Gettin' card and letters from people I don't even know....
