One, two, three, four

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 no nobody wants to know

I've been
Sleeping on the sidewalk
Rolling down the road
I may get hungry
But I sure don't wanna go home

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 saying?
Are you playing?
Sure you don't mean me?

I was
Sleeping on the sidewalk
Rolling down the road
I may get hungry
But I sure don't wanna go home

Hey, I'll tell you what happened
They took me to a room without a table
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'd have thought I was a happy man

And I was
Sleeping like a princess
Never touched the road
I don't get hungry
And I sure don't wanna go home

Have to have some fun

And now they tell me that I ain't so fashionable
And that I owe the man a million bucks a year
So I told him where to stick the fancy label
It's just me and the road from here, yeah

Yeah
Back to playing and laying
I'm back on the game
I was

Sleeping on the sidewalk
Rolling down the road
I sure get hungry
And I sure do wanna go home
