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
