Rhinestone Cowboy - Larry Weiss

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'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

Rhinestone cowboy

Getting cards and letters 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 all the pain

But you're down when you're riding the 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'll be a load of compromising

On the road to my horizon

But I'm gonna be where the light is 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

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

Rhinestone cowboy

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo

Rhinestone cowboy

Getting cards and letters
