[00:09.18]I've been walkin' these streets so long
[00:13.38]Singin' the same old song
[00:16.18]
[00:17.48]I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
[00:22.73]
[00:25.35]Where hustle's the name of the game
[00:27.95]
[00:29.07]And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
[00:34.82]
[00:36.32]There's been a load of compromisin'
[00:39.22]
[00:40.33]On the road to my horizon
[00:43.84]
[00:44.74]But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
[00:50.89]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[00:53.49]
[00:55.89]Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
[01:01.39]
[01:02.64]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[01:05.79]
[01:07.54]Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
[01:13.79]And offers comin' over the phone
[01:19.29]Well, I really don't mind the rain
[01:22.29]
[01:23.09]And a smile can hide all the pain
[01:26.89]But you're down when you're ridin' the train that's takin' the long way
[01:33.19]
[01:34.49]And I dream of the things I'll do
[01:37.69]
[01:38.39]With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
[01:43.69]
[01:45.74]There'll be a load of compromisin'
[01:48.99]
[01:49.74]On the road to my horizon
[01:52.94]
[01:53.79]But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me
[01:59.99]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[02:03.39]
[02:04.99]Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
[02:10.39]
[02:11.64]Rhinestone cowboy
[02:14.99]
[02:16.69]Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
[02:22.69]And offers comin' over the phone
[02:24.89]
[02:26.90]Like a rhinestone cowboy
[02:31.75]Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
[02:38.40]Rhinestone cowboy
[02:42.45]
[02:43.25]Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
