Sleeping On The Sidewalk

I was nothing but a city boy

My trumpet was my only toy

I've been blowing 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 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 saying are you playing

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 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 blowing to a million fans

Nothing was a missing

All the people want to listen

You'd have thought I was a happy man

And I was sleeping 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

And I owe the man a million bucks a year

So I told them where to stick the fancy label

It's just me and the road from here

I'm back to playing and laying

I'm back on the game

I'm sleeping on the sidewalk

Rolling down the road

I sure get hungry and

I sure do wanna go home

(Yeah)
