Rhinestone Cowboy

(album: She's Just An Old Love-Turned Memory - 1977)

I've been walking
These streets so long
Singing the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty
Sidewalk's of Broadway
While Hustles the name of the game and nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
That 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 and 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 a smile can hide all the pain but your down when your ridding the train that's taken the long way
And I'll dream of the things I'll do with a subway
Token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There'll be 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 and 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
