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)
