(original lyrics somewhat modified by benjie)
I've been walkin' down jones street so long
Singin' the same loony song
I know ev'ry crack and these
Dirty sidewalks of Jones and Eddy
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice benjie gets 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
Riding out on a crazy horse
in a star-sprangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from
strippers I don't even know
And offers coming over the iPhone
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 things I'd do
With a subway token and dollar
Tucked inside my shoe
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
Riding out on a crazy horse
in a star-sprangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from
people I don't even know
And offers coming over the iPhone
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse
in a star-sprangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Gettin' cards and letters from
people I don't even know
And offers coming over the iPhone
