Rhinestone Cowboy

Keepin' walkin' these streets so long singin' the same old song

He knows every crack on those 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 his horison

But he's gonna be where the lights are shinin' on him

Like a Rhinestone Cowboy ridin' out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo

Like a Rhinestone Cowboy gettin' cards and letter from people he don't even know

And offers coming over the phone

He really don't mind the rain and a smile can hide all the pain

But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's taking the long way

And he dreams of the things he'll do

With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside his shoe

There'll be a load of compromisin'...

Like a Rhinestone Cowboy...
