Los Lobos - Sleeping on the Sidewalk lyrics
[Los Lobos - Sleeping on the Sidewalk lyrics]
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 nobody want to know
I've been sleeping on the sidewalk
Rolling down the road i may get hungry
But, I sure don't want to go home
So 'round the corner comes a limousine
And the biggest grin I've ever seen
"Here, sonny, won't you sign
Along the dotted line"
What you saying, are you playing
Sure you don't mean me?
I've been sleeping on the sidewalk
Rolling down the road i may get hungry
But, I sure don't want to go home
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
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 thought I was a happy man
And I was sleeping like a king
Never touch the road I don't get hungry
And I sure don't want to go home
Now they tell me that I isn’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, yeah
I'm sleeping on the sidewalk
Rolling down the road i may get hungry
But, I sure don't want to go home, yeah
Yeah, yeah
My trumpet was my only toy
I've been blowing my horn
Since I knew I was born
But there ain't nobody want to know
I've been sleeping on the sidewalk
Rolling down the road i may get hungry
But, I sure don't want to go home
So 'round the corner comes a limousine
And the biggest grin I've ever seen
"Here, sonny, won't you sign
Along the dotted line"
What you saying, are you playing
Sure you don't mean me?
I've been sleeping on the sidewalk
Rolling down the road i may get hungry
But, I sure don't want to go home
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
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 thought I was a happy man
And I was sleeping like a king
Never touch the road I don't get hungry
And I sure don't want to go home
Now they tell me that I isn’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, yeah
I'm sleeping on the sidewalk
Rolling down the road i may get hungry
But, I sure don't want to go home, yeah
Yeah, yeah
