Sleeping On The Sidewalk lyrics

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)
