[00:09.72]I've been walking these streets so long
[00:13.95]Singing the same old song
[00:18.08]I know every crack in these dirty
[00:21.81]sidewalks of Broadway
[00:26.23]Where hustle's the name of the game
[00:30.61]And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
[00:38.40]There's been a load of compromising
[00:42.55]On the road to my horizon
[00:47.18]But I gonna be where the lights are shining on me
[00:54.10]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[00:59.36]Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
[01:06.62]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[01:11.90]Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
[01:18.54]And offers coming over the phone
[01:28.75]Well, I really don't mind the rain
[01:32.85]And a smile can hide all the pain
[01:37.02]But you're down when you're riding a train that's taking the long way
[01:45.25]And i dream of the things I'll do
[01:49.34]With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
[01:57.49]There'll be a load of compromising
[02:01.71]On the road to my horizon
[02:06.41]But I ganna be where the lights are shining on me
[02:11.02]
[02:13.21]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[02:18.45]Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
[02:26.37]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[02:31.00]Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
[02:37.63]And offers coming over the phone
[02:46.61]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[02:51.80]Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
[02:59.68]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[03:04.28]Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
[03:11.94]And offers coming over the phone

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's 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 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 things I'll do

There'll be a load of compromising
On the road to my horizon
But I ganna be where the lights are shining on me

Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
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
