Rhinestone Cowboy Lyrics

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 is 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 a train
That's taking the long way 
And I dream of the thing I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
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
