Rhinestone Cowboy Glen Campbell (#1 in 1975)

I've been walking these streets so long
Singing the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle is the name of the game

And nice guys get washed away like the snow and the rain
There's been a load of compromising
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining 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 coming 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 riding a train
That's taking the long way
And I dream of the thing I'll do
With a subway token and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
There's been a load of compromising
On the road to my horizon
But I'm gonna be where the lights are shining on me
    Chorus
