Rhinestone Cowboy Songtext
von Alan Ladd

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 snow in 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
Ridin′ 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


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 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
Ridin′ 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
Ridin' 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
