Rhinestone Cowboy
I've been walking these streets so long
Singing the same old song
I know every crack and crevice out here in Broadway
Hustles the name of the game
And white boys get washed down the drain like the snow and the rain
There's been a years of compromising
On the road to my horizon
But I wanna 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
A smile can hide all the pain
I've been walking these streets so long out here in Broadway
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway ticket and a dollar tucked inside my shoe
It took me years of compromising
To get my horizon
But I wanna be where the lights are shining on me
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers coming over the phone
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
Like a rhinestone cowboy
One of the bands earliest covers, performed live during their early years and most famously for Paris' Black Sessions. A dire song that Radiohead improved 200% and made at least listenable. It's quite chirpy and funny and a nice sneer at Glen Campbell or whatever his name is.
