Rhinestones on the night time road Reflect the light that's in your soul And keep your dark eyes shining Keep your dark eyes shining When the path turned to a road It turned into a highway Oh, and it leads to where you'd give your soul To see the sad hearts smiling Up ahead you only see the night But back behind you all the turns seemed right You're on the rhinestone highway Ooh, the rhinestone highway All you have if you reach heaven Is all the songs your heart could carry And you don't have them all But you've got all the best you left with Rough roads only seem to mean That life can imitate your dreams And they only set you flying And keep your dreams from dying So much farther out there than you've ever been And you're flying down a road that has no end You're on the rhinestone highway Ooh, the rhinestone highway Life's too long to go the wrong way Life's too short to go the long way And you never got a map So you just go the way the road goes You follow the rhinestones down the road And days fly by like the cotton rows And if you turn your head in time You can see right down the line So much farther out there than you've ever been And you're flying down a road that has no end You're on the rhinestone highway Ooh, the rhinestone highway
