Lyrics Rhinestone Cowboy

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 horizon
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's been a load of compromisin'
On the road to his horizon
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
