I was nothin' but a city boy My trumpet was my only toy I've been blowin' my horn Since I knew I was born But there ain't nobody wants to know
I've been Sleepin' on the sidewalk Rollin' down the road I may get hungry But I sure don't want to go home
So round the corner comes a limousine And the biggest grin I've ever seen Come on sonny won't you sign Right along the dotted line What you sayin' are you playin' Sure you don't mean me?
Sleepin' on the sidewalk Rollin' down the road
I may get hungry But I sure don't wanna go home
(tell you what happened. . .)
They took me to a room without a table They said 'blow your trumpet into here' I played around as well as I was able And soon we had the record of the year
I was a legend all through the land I was blowin' to a million fans Nothin' was a-missin' All the people want to listen You'd have thought I was a happy man
And I was Sleepin' like a princess Never touch the road I don't get hungry And I sure don't want to go home (have to have some fun. . .)
Now they tell me that I ain't so fashionable An' I owe the man a million bucks a year So I told 'em where to stick the fancy label It's just me and the road from here
Back to playin' and layin' I'm back on the game
Sleepin' on the sidewalk Rollin' down the road I sure get hungry and i Sure do wanna go home (yeah)
