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)
