08 - Sleeping on the Sidewalk

[00:05.37] I was nothin' but a city boy

[00:09.25] My trumpet was my only toy

[00:12.70] I've been blowin' my horn

[00:14.30] Since I knew I was born

[00:16.41] But there ain't nobody wants to know

[00:19.76] I've been sleepin' on the sidewalk

[00:24.01] Rollin' down the road

[00:27.72] I may get hungry

[00:29.22] But I sure don't want to go home

[00:34.80] So round the corner comes a limousine

[00:39.05] And the biggest grin I ever seen

[00:42.51] Here sonny won't you sign

[00:44.37] Right along the dotted line

[00:46.23] What you sayin' are you playin'

[00:48.23] Sure you don't mean me?

[00:50.63] I've been sleepin' on the sidewalk

[00:53.97] Rollin' down the road

[00:57.69] I may get hungry

[00:59.18] But I sure don't want to go home

[01:03.71] (Now I tell you what happened...)

[01:05.32] They took me to a room without a table

[01:08.42] They said 'blow your trumpet into here'

[01:12.67] I played around as well as I was able

[01:16.29] And soon we had the record of the year

[01:19.64] I was a legend all through the land

[01:23.88] I was blowin' to a million fans

[01:27.49] Nothin' was a missin'

[01:28.99] All the people want to listen

[01:31.12] You'd have thought I was a happy man

[01:34.83] And I was sleepin' like a princess

[01:38.83] Never touch the road

[01:42.18] I don't get hungry

[01:44.30] And I sure don't want to go home

[01:47.92] (Have to have some fun...)

[02:18.90] Now they tell me that I ain't so fashionable

[02:22.79] An' I owe the man a million bucks a year

[02:26.51] So I told 'em where to stick the fancy label

[02:30.23] It's just me and the road from here

[02:45.11] I'm back to playin' and layin'

[02:47.13] I'm back on the game

[02:48.99] I'm sleepin' on the sidewalk

[02:52.97] Rollin' down the road

[02:56.43] I sure get hungry and

[02:58.28] I sure do want to go home

[03:03.33] (Yeah)
