Story of my life... a song

I've been walkin' these streets so long
Singin' the same old song
I know every crack in these dirty sidewalks of Camden
Where hustle's the name of the game
And nice guys get 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 cowgirl
Riding out on Zat bike in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowgirl
Getting cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' 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 ridin' the train that's takin' the long way
And I dream of the things I'll do
With a subway token and a fiver tucked inside my shoe

There'll be 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 cowgirl
Riding out on Zat bike in a star-spangled rodeo
Rhinestone cowgirl
Gettin' cards and letters from people I don't even know
And offers comin' over the phone

(Glen Campbell featuring Stigmum.)

This is the first song I ever sang karoake on my own. I was meant to sing it with my friend Paul at our college Leavers Ball me and my uni friends gatecrashed (a spontaneous decision, they could have waited to hold if after our exams!) but he abandoned me on the stage the minute the music started.
Stiggers, to try and wipe away my paranoia this morning, played it.
"I'm not ready for this," I told her all, oooh, fearful!
"Were you ready when you saw the blue line?"
"Point taken, but still, I don't believe such glitz is coming or know how to deal with it if it does, unlike the blue line, where I got really lucky with an amazing boy though not amazing journey he's forced to take with me...."
"Chill out and sing."
