[Verse 1]
B7
I was nothing but a city boy
B7
My trumpet was my only toy
B7
I've been blowing my horn
B7
Since I knew I was born
B7
But there isn'€™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
E7 F#7
[Verse 2]
B7
So round the corner comes a limousine
B7
And the biggest grin I've ever seen
B7
Come on sonny won't you sign
B7
Right along the dotted line
B7 B7
What you saying Are you playing
B7
Sure you don't mean me?
[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
E7 F#7
[Bridge 1]
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
[Verse 3]
B7
I was a legend all through the land
B7
I was blowing to a million fans
B7
Nothing' was a-missing
B7
All the people want to listen
B7
You'd have thought I was a happy man
[Chorus]
And I was
E7
Sleeping like a princess
B7
Never touch the road
F#7
I don't get hungry
E7 B7
And I sure don't want to go home
(have to have some fun. . .)
[Solo]

[Bridge 2]
E7
Now they tell me that I ain'€™t so fashionable
B7
An' I owe the man a million bucks a year
E7
So I told them where to stick the fancy label
F#7 E7
It's just me and the road from here
B7
B7 B7
Back to playing and laying
B7
I'm back on the game
[Chorus]
I've been
E7
Sleeping on the sidewalk
B7
Rolling down the road
F#7
I sure get hungry
E7 B7
And I sure don't wanna go home
[Outro]
B7
Yeah
