I've been walking these streets so long Singing the same old song I know every crack on these dirty sidewalks of Broadway Where hustle is the name of the game And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain There's been a load of comprimising On the road to my horizon But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me
Chorus: Like a rhinestone cowboy Riding our on a horse in a star spangled rodeo Rhinestone cowboy getting cards and lettters from people I don't even know Offers coming over the phone.....
Well, I really don't mind the rain And a smile can hide the pain But you're down when you're riding a train That's taking the long way But I dream of the things I'll do With a subway token and a dollar Tucked inside my shoe There's been a load of compromsing On the road to my horizon But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me
