[Verse]

             
I've been walk

              
ing these stre

          
ets so  long
             
Singing the sa

           
me old song
             
I know every c

           
rack in these 

             
dirty sidewalk

               
s of  Broadway
             
Where hustle i

              
s the name of 

       
the game
             
And nice guys 

           
get washed a- 

             
 way / Like th

           
e snow and the

            
 rain
              
There's been a

           
 load of compr

        
o-mising
             
On the road to

      
 my ho-  rizon
             
And I'm gonna 

             
be where the l

               (
ing on me


[Chorus]

            
Like a Rhinest

Riding out on 

             
a horse in a s

            
tar spangled r

      
odeo
            
Like a Rhinest

Getting cards 

              
and letters fr

            
om people I do

And offers com

[Verse]

             
I really don't

            
 mind the rain
             
And smiles can

           
 hide all the 

     
pain
             
But you're dow

              
n and you're r

          
iding the trai

    
n
              
That's taking 

                
the long way
             
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

        
-mising
             
On the road to

And I'm gonna
