Rhinestone Cowboy - Billy White

I’ve been walkin' these streets so long

Singin' the same old song

I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of BroadwayWhere hustle’s the name

of the game

And nice guys get washed away

Like the snow and the rainThere’s been a load of compromisin'

On the road to my horizon

But I’m gonna be where the lights are shinin' on meLike a rhinestone cowboy

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeoLike a rhinestone cowboy

Getting cards and letters from people I don’t even know

And offers comin' over the phoneWell, I 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 takin' the long wayAnd I

dream of the things I’ll do

With a subway token

And a dollar tucked inside my shoeThere’ll be a load of compromisin'

On the road to my horizon

But I’m gonna be where the lights are shinin' on meLike a rhinestone cowboy

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeoRhinestone cowboy

Gettin' cards and letters from people I don’t even know

And offers comin' over the phoneLike a rhinestone cowboy

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeoLike a rhinestone cowboy

Gettin' card and letters from people I don’t even know
