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 around 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 are you sayin Are you playin
Sure you don't mean me
I'm sleepin on the sidewalk
Rollin down the road
I may get hungry but I sure don't want to 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 missing
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 wanna 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
Back to playin and layin
I'm back on the game
I'm sleepin on the sidewalk
Rollin down the road
I sure get hungry and I sure do want to go home
Yeah
My trumpet was my only toy
