are they walking the streets so long singing the same old song i know every crack on this
dirty old side of walker 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 horizon
but i'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me
me like a
right
right

like a rhinestone cowboy
like a rhinestone cowboy
getting cards and letters from people i don't even know
and office coming over the phone
me
me
I don't even mind the rain
A smile can hide all the pain
When you're down, when you're riding the train
And taking the long way
Well, I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar stuck 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
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse and a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse and a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
An office coming over the phone
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse and a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse and a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
An office coming over the phone
