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

Its 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
