[00:08.47]I've been walkin' these streets so long
[00:11.98]Singin' the same old song
[00:17.06]I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
[00:24.91]Where hustle's the name of the game
[00:29.70]And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
[00:39.63]There's been a load of compromisin'
[00:43.00]On the road to my horizon
[00:48.64]But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
[00:55.41]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[01:00.87]Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
[01:08.22]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[01:13.53]Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
[01:20.11]And offers comin' over the phone
[01:30.33]Well, I really don't mind the rain
[01:34.56]And a smile can hide all the pain
[01:38.74]But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way
[01:51.46]And I dream of the things I'll do
[01:55.73]With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
[02:03.43]There'll be a load of compromisin'
[02:08.16]On the road to my horizon
[02:13.11]But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
[02:19.93]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[02:24.20]Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
[02:32.55]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[02:36.30]Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
[02:44.55]And offers comin' over the phone
[02:50.05]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[02:58.45]Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
[03:05.73]And offers com'in over the phone
[03:14.76]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[03:18.40]
