I've been walkin' these streets so long, singin' 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 the lights are shinin' on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Ridin' out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' 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 you're takin' 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
Then a load of compromisin' on the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Ridin' out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
There's been a fuckin' load of compromisin' on the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Ridin' out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
