Rhinestone Cowboy Songtext / Lyric

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
