Strophe)
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
Refrain)
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
Strophe)
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´s be a load of compromisin
On the road to my horizon
But I´m gonna be where the lights are shinin on me
Refrain)
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
Refrain)
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
Alleinunterhalter
