Rhinestone CowboyGlen Campbell
Words & Music by Larry Weiss
- peak Billboard position # 1 in 1975
I have 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 & the rain
Theres been a load of compromisin´
On the road to my horizon
But I am going to 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 & letters from people I do not even know
And offers comin´ over the phone
Well, I do not really mind the rain
And a smile can hide all the pain
But you are down when you are ridin´ the train that is takin´ the long way
And I dream of the things I will do
With a subway token & a dollar tucked inside my shoe
Theres been a load of compromisin´
On the road to my horizon
But I am going to 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 & letters from people I do not even know
And offers comin´ over the phone
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
FADE
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Gettin´ card & letters from people I do not even know
