Rhinestone Cowboy Lyrics - Singles - Campbell Glen

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
