Rhinestone Cowboy

I've been walking these streets so long Singing the same old song I know every crack and crevice out here in Broadway Where hustle's the name of the game And white boys get washed down the drain Like the snow and the rain Took me years of compromising On the road to my horizon But I want to 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 walking these streets so long out here in broadway And I dream of the things I'll do With a subway token and a dollar tucked into my shoe Took me years of compromising To get to my horizon But I want to 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 Like a rhinestone cowboy And offers coming over the phone
