Rhinestone Cowboy

(Cover Glenn Cambell)

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 compromising
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna 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 down when you're riding the train
That's taking 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 compromising
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me

Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy

Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers coming 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
Like a rhinestone cowboy
