Glen Campbell Rhinestone Cowboy
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
