I've been walking these streets so long Singing 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 they 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 your riding 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 they 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 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
