Rhinestone Cowboy Lyrics - Singles - Barrett Baber

I've been walkin' these streets so long 

Singin' the same old song 

I know every crack in 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 compromisin' 

On the road to my horizon 

But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' 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 comin' 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 ridin' the train that's takin' the long way 

And 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 compromisin' 

On the road to my horizon 

But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me 

Like a rhinestone cowboy 

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo 

Like a rhinestone cowboy 

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

And offers comin' over the phone
