      B7
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
E7
Sleeping on the sidewalk
B7
Rollin' down the road
  F#7
I may get hungry
      E7                    B7
But I sure don't want to 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 sayin', are you playin'
Sure you don't mean me?

Chorus

      E7
They took me to a room without a table
            B7
They said blow your trumpet into here
    E7
I played around as well as I was able
     F#7                           E7
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 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

Now they tell me that I ain'€™t so fashionable
An' 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

          B7
Back to playing and laying
I'm back on the game
