Tony Christie - Rhinestone Cowboy

Текст песни

I’ve been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle’s the name of the game
And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There’ll be a lotta of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I’m gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me.
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don’t even know
And offers comin' over the phone.
Well, I don’t really mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain
But you’re down when you’re ridin' the train that’s takin' the long way
And I dream of the things I’ll do With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There’ll be a load of compromisin'
On the road to my horizon
But I’m gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me.
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don’t even know
And offers comin' over the phone.
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo.
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' card and letters from people I don’t even know…
