|
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 |
