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 ever seen
Here sonny won´t you sign
Right along the dotted line
What you sayin´ are you playin´
Sure you don´t mean me?
I´ve been sleepin´ on the sidewalk
Rollin´ down the road
I may get hungry
But I sure don´t want to go home
(Now I 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
I´m 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 wanna go home
(Yeah)
