I've been walkin' these streets so longSingin' the same old songI know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of BroadwayWhere hustle's the name of the gameAnd nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rainThere's been a load of compromisin'On the road to my horizonBut I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on meLike a rhinestone cowboyRiding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeoLike a rhinestone cowboyGetting cards and letters from people I don't even knowAnd offers comin' over the phoneWell, I really don't mind the rainAnd a smile can hide all the painBut you're down when you're ridin' the trainThat's takin' the long wayAnd I dream of the things I'll doWith a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoeThere'll be a load of compromisin'On the road to my horizonBut I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on meLike a rhinestone cowboyRiding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeoRhinestone cowboyGettin' cards and letters from people I don't even knowAnd offers comin' over the phoneLike a rhinestone cowboyRiding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeoLike a rhinestone cowboyGettin' cards and letters from people I don't even knowLyrics Licensed & Provided by LyricFind | By: Larry Weiss | Lyrics © Warner Chappell Music, Inc.

Intro

Verse

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

Chorus

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

Verse

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'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

Chorus

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone
Like a rhinestone cowboy

Outro

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
