Rhinestone Cowboy - Live - Soul Asylum

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's been 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

Ridin' 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

Well, I really don't mind the rain and a smile can hide all the pain

But you're down when you're takin' 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

Then 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

Ridin' 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

There's been a fuckin' 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

Ridin' 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
