Sleeping On The Sidewalk - Live in Boston, Massachusetts 1977 lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
I've been sleepin' on the sidewalk
Rollin' down the road
I may get hungry
But I sure don't wanna go home

[Verse 2]
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 sayin', are you playin'
Sure you don't mean me?

[Chorus]
I've been sleepin' on the sidewalk
Rollin' down the road
I may get hungry
But I sure don't wanna go home
Now, I'll tell you what happened
[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
I was a legend all through the land
I was blowin' to a million fans
Nothin' was a-missin'
All the people wanna listen
You'd have thought I was a happy man

[Chorus]
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

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Now they tell me
That I ain’t so fashion-able
And that 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, yeah
Back to playin' and layin'
I'm back on the game
[Chorus]
I'm sleepin' on the sidewalk
Rollin' down the road
I sure get hungry
And I sure do wanna go home

[Outro]
Yeah
