I've been walkin' these streets so long
00:11
Singin' the same old song
00:15
I know every crack in the dirty sidewalks of Broadway
00:18
Where hustle's the name of the game
00:26
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
00:30
There's been a load of compromisin'
00:38
On the road to my horizon
00:41
But I'm gonna be where the lights
00:46
Are shinin' on me
00:49
Like a rhinestone cowboy
00:53
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
00:58
Like a rhinestone cowboy
01:04
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
01:09
And offers comin' over the phone
01:16
I really don't mind the rain
01:26
Smile can hide all the pain
01:29
But you're down when you're ridin'
01:33
The train that's takin' the long way
01:35
And I dream of the things I'll do
01:41
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
01:45
There'll be a load of compromisin'
01:52
On the road to my horizon
01:56
But I'm gonna be where the lights
02:00
Are shinin' on me
02:03
Like a rhinestone cowboy
02:08
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
02:12
Like a rhinestone cowboy
02:19
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
02:24
And offers comin' over the phone
02:30
Like a rhinestone cowboy
02:39
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
02:44
Like a rhinestone cowboy
02:50
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
02:56
Like a rhinestone cowboy
03:02

Lyrics & Translation
[English]
I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in the 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
I really don't mind the rain
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
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
Like a rhinestone cowboy
