Sleeping on the Sidewalk

[Verse 1]

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 want to know

[Chorus 1]

I've been

Sleeping on the sidewalk

Rolling down the road

I may get hungry

But I sure don't want to go home

[Verse 2]

So 'round the corner comes a limousine

And the biggest grin I've ever seen

"Here, sonny, won't you sign

Along the dotted line"

What you saying, are you playing

Sure you don't mean me?

[Chorus 1]

I've been

Sleeping on the sidewalk

Rolling down the road

I may get hungry

But I sure don't want to go home

[Verse 3]

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 thought I was a happy man

[Chorus 2]

And I was

Sleeping like a king

Never touch the road

I don't get hungry

And I sure don't want to go home

[Verse 4]

Now they tell me that I isn’t so fashionable

An' 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, yeah

[Chorus 1]

I'm sleeping on the sidewalk

Rolling down the road

I may get hungry

But I sure don't want to go home, yeah

Yeah, yeah
