Rhinestone Cowboy Lyrics

Rhinestone Cowboy
Glen Campbell 
Words and Music by Larry Weiss

-
peak Billboard position # 1 in 1975

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 don't really 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'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
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

FADE
Like a
rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' card and letters from people I don't even know
