Campbell Glen - Rhinestone Cowboy lyrics

rate me

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
