[Intro]
      

[Verse 1]
         
I've been walk

in' these stre

ets so long

Singin' the same old song
              
I know every c

              
rack in these 

              
dirty sidewalk

     
s of Broadway
      
Where hustle's

 the name of t

he game
              
And nice guys 

              
get washed awa

              
y like the sno

               
w and the rain
             
There's been a

 
 load of compr

omizin'
             
On the road to

    
 my horizon
             
But I'm gonna 

             
be where the l

            
ights are shin

          
in' on me

[Chorus]
           
Like a rhinest

           
one cowboy
             
Riding out on 

             
a horse in a s

         
tar-spangled r

     
odeo
           
Like a rhinest

           
one cowboy
             
Getting cards 

              
and letters fr

         
om people I do

         
n't even know
             
And offers com

             
in' over the p

             
hone

[Verse 2]
        
Well, I really

 don't mind th

e rain

And a smile can hide all the pain
              
But you're dow

              
n when you're 

              
ridin' the tra

              
in that's taki

       
n' the long wa

y
      
And I dream of

 the things I'

ll do
              
With a subway 

              
token and a do

              
llar tucked in

            
side my shoe
              
There'll be a 


load of compro

misin'
             
On the road to

    
 my horizon
             
But I'm gonna 

             
be where the l

            
ights are shin

          
in' on me
           
Like a rhinest

Riding out on
