SLEEPING ON THE SIDEWALK |
|
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
