[Verse 1]

I?ve been walk

ing these stre

ets so long
Singing the same old song
              
I know every c

              
rack in the di

              
rty sidewalks 

                        
of  broadway
            
Where hustle i

s the name of 

the game
            
And nice guys 

              
get washed  aw

              
ay  like the s

             
now  and  the 

                               
 rain
              
There?s  been 

            
a load of comp

romising
             
On the road to

              
 my horizon
             
And I?m gonna 

              
be where the l

              
ights are shin

                                  
ing 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 

              
& letters from

              
 people I dont

            
 even know
              
And offers com

[Verse 2]

I really don?t

 mind the rain

And smiles can

 hide all the 

pain

Your down whil

e taking the t

rain
              
Thats taking y

              
ou to the long

                      
 way
    
I dream of thi

ngs I?ll do
            
With a subway 

              
token and a do

             
llar tucked in

                               
 my shoe
              
There?s been a

            
 load of compr

omising
             
On the road to

               
 my horizon
             
And I?m gonna 

              
be where the l
