I was nothin but a city boy
My trumpet was my only toy
I was blowin my horn
Since I knew I was born
But there ain't nobody wants to know
I've been sleeping on the sidewalk
Rolling down the road
I may get hungry
But I sure don't wanna go home
So round the corner comes a limousine
And the biggest grin I've 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 sleeping on the sidewalk
Rolling down the road
I may get hungry
But I sure don't wanna go home
They took me to a room without a table
They said: blow you trumpet into here
So 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 wanna listen
You'd have thought I was a happy man
I was sleeping like a princess
Never touch the road
I never get hungry
And I sure don't wanna go home
(have to have some fun...)
Now they tell me that I ain't so fashionable
And that 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
Sleeping on the sidewalk
Rolling down the road
I sure get hungry
And I sure do want to go home
