Lyrics Glen Campbell

Glen Campbell

Rhinestone Cowboy

I`ve been walkin` the streets so long,

Singin` the same old song.

I know every crack on these dirty sidewalks of Broadway;

Where hustle is 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`m gonna be where the lights are shining on me;

CHORUS:

Like a rhinestone cowboy,

Riding out on a horse in a starspangled rodeo.

Rhinestone cowboy,

Getting cards and letters from people I don`t even know;

An offer`s comin` over the phone.

Well I really don`t mind the rain,

And a smile can hide the pain;

But you`re down when you`re ridin` a train,

That`s takin` the long way.

But I dream of the things I will do,

With subway ticket and a dollar tucked inside my shoe.

There`s been a load of compromising,

On the road to my horizon.

But I`m goin` where the lights are shining on me;

CHORUS:...
