Sleeping on the Sidewalk

Lyrics

[Intro] One, two, three [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] I've been sleepin' on the sidewalk Rollin' down the road I may get hungry But I sure don't wanna go home [Verse 2] So 'round the corner comes a limousine And the biggest grin I ever seen "Hey, sonny, won't you sign Right along the dotted line?" "What you sayin'? Are you playin'? Sure you don't mean me?" [Chorus] I was sleepin' on the sidewalk Rollin' down the road I may get hungry But I sure don't wanna go home Now, I'll tell you what happened [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] I was a legend all through the land I was blowin' to a million fans Nothin' was a-missin' All the people wanna listen You'd have thought I was a happy man [Chorus] And I was sleepin' like a princess Never touch the road I don't get hungry And I sure don't wanna go home Have to have some fun [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Now they tell me that I ain't so fashion-able And that 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, yeah I'm back to playin' and layin' and I'm back on the game [Chorus] I'm sleepin' on the sidewalk Rollin' down the road I sure get hungry And I sure do wanna go home [Outro] Yeah
