Sleeping On The Sidewalk

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 ever seen 
Here sonny won't you sign 
Right along the dotted line 
What you sayin' are you playin' 
Sure you don't mean me? 
 
I've been sleepin' on the sidewalk 
Rollin' down the road 
I may get hungry 
But I sure don't want to go home 
 
(Now I 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 
 
I'm back to playin' and layin' 
I'm back on the game 
 
I'm sleepin' on the sidewalk 
Rollin' down the road 
I sure get hungry and 
I sure do wanna go home 
(Yeah)
