Rhinestone1 cowboy  Glen Campbell

I've been walking these streets so long
Singing the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Broadway
Where hustle2 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
莱茵石牛仔    葛伦坎伯

我已在这些街道上走了很久
嘴里唱着同一首老歌
百老汇骯脏的人行道上的每个隙缝我都很清楚
在赌哈梭的地方
好人们像雨雪般被洗劫一空
过去曾有许多的妥协
在迈向属于我的地平线的路上
总有一天,灯光会聚焦在我身上

像个莱茵石牛仔
在镶着星星图案的竞技场骑马出场
像个莱茵石牛仔
收到不认识的人们寄来的卡片和信件
甚至是电话里的求婚

我真的不在乎雨水
笑容可以掩饰所有的痛楚
但你已搭火车南下
展开一段漫长的路程
而我依然梦想着我想完成的事
搭乘地下铁,鞋子里藏着一块钱
过去曾有许多的妥协
在迈向属于我的地平线的路上
总有一天,灯光会聚焦在我身上
  成名于六十年代的乡村音乐歌手葛伦坎伯,因为畅销曲不断,且拥有自己的电视节目秀,俨然巨星架式。
  1975年,他驱车前往唱片公司途中,收音机里传来纽约布鲁克林歌手 Larry Weiss 创作演唱的" Rhinestone cowboy 莱茵石牛仔 ",他听完后十分感动,认为歌中主角的境遇就是他成功以前的写照,立刻到公司和制作人提起这首歌,制作人接着推荐一首希望他灌唱的新歌,并当场弹奏起来,没想到两人相中的竟然是同一首歌。唱功更胜一筹的葛伦坎伯翻唱的这首单曲推出后果然大受欢迎,拿下全美单曲榜冠军。 
  Rhinestone 莱茵石,一种假钻,常用于乡村风格的服饰,但真正的牛仔却不屑于使用。故这首歌也有人翻成" 钻石牛仔 "。
