Lyric Rhinestone Cowboy

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 is the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There s been a load of compromising
On the road to my horizon
But I m gonna be where the lights are shining 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 coming 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 riding a train
That s taking the long way
And I dream of the thing I ll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There s been a load of compromising
On the road to my horizon
But I m gonna be where the lights are shining on me
