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
