Rhinestone Cowboy Songtext
von Chris LeDoux

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 stucked 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

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
