Stars-rhinestone Cowboy (live)

Intro: verse 1 I was never one for singing what I really feel Except tonight I'm bringin' everything I know is real Stars they come and go They come fast they come slow They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze They always have a story But it gets lonely here when theres no one here to share We can shake it all away If you'll hear a story verse 2 People lust for fame like athletes in a game We break our collar bones and come up swinging Some of us are down some are crowned some are lost an never found Those thats seen it all they live their lives in sad cafes an music halls They always have a story verse 3 Some make it when they're young Before the world has done it's dirty job Later on someone will say you've had your day Now you must make way verse 4 Some make it when they're old Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare Or perhaps there's nothin' there Verse 5 Stars they come and go They come fast they come slow They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze And all they see is glory Verse 6 So if you don't lose patientce with my fumblin' around I'll come up singin' for you Even when I'm down I'll come up singing singing singing Like a Rhinestone cowboy riding out on a horse in a star-spankled rodeo Just like a Rhinestone cowboy Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know Lord an offers comin' over the phone Verse 7 I've been walkin' these streets so long singin' the same ole songs I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway Where hustles the name of the game And nice guys get washed away like the snow an the rain Theres been a load of compromisin' on this road to my horizion But I'm gonna be where the lights are shinin' on me Like a Rhinestone cowboy Riding out on a horse in a star-spankled rodeo Like a Rhinestone cowboy Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know Lord an offers comin' over the phone Verse 8 Well I really don't mind the rain and a smile can hide all the pain But your down when you're ridin' the train thats taking the long way And I dream of the things I'll do with a subway token an a dollar tucked inside my shoe There'll be a load of compromisin' Lord on that road to my horizion But I wanna' be where them lights are shinin' on me Like a Rhinestone cowboy riding out on a horse in a star-spankled rodeo Just like a Rhinestone cowboy Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know Lord an offers comin' over the phone outro Like a Rhinestone cowboy
