I was nothin but a city boy

My trumpet was my only toy

Ive been blowin my horn
Since I knew I was born
But there aint nobody wants to know

Ive been
Sleepin on the sidewalk

Rollin down the road

I may get hungry
But I sure dont want to go home

So round the corner comes a limousine

And the biggest grin Ive ever seen

Come on sonny wont you sign
Right along the dotted line
What you sayin are you playin
Sure you dont mean me
Sleepin on the sidewalk

Rollin down the road

I may get hungry
But I sure dont 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
Youd have thought I was a happy man

And I was
Sleepin like a princess

Never touch the road

I dont get hungry
And I sure dont want to go home

Have to have some fun

Now they tell me that I aint 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
Im back on the game
Sleepin on the sidewalk

Rollin down the road

I sure get hungry and i
Sure do wanna go home

Yeah
