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 compromising on the road to my horizone
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinning on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star spamgled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And old folks coming over the phone
Well I really don't mind the rain
And the smile can hide all the pain
But you're down when you're riding the train that's talking the long way
And I dream of the things I'd do
With the subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There's been a load of compromising on the road to my horizone
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinning on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star spamgled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And old folks coming over the phone
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star spamgled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And old folks coming over the phone
