I used to stand on a corner when I was a child
And I'd play my guitar and sing as the people went by
The sidewalks were crowded
But I'd just sing louder 'cause I didn't mind
Just spending my time, spinning my rhymes
And singing for nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes
A song at a time for nickels and dimes
I'd brighten their day as they go on their way and they'd brighten mine
A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind
I knew that someday in my own special way
I'd repay all their nickels and dimes
I recall the sidewalk each night as I stand on the stage
As I play my guitar and sing for the people who paid
'Cause I finally made it to what they all call "the big time"
But I still remember I still owe some nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes
A song at a time for nickels and dimes
A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind
So if you remember a child on the corner of time
You'll know that I wrote this to repay your nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes
A song at a time for nickels and dimes
A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind
So if you remember a child on a corner of time
You'll know that I wrote this to repay your nickels and dimes
Nickels and dimes
A song at a time for nickels and dimes
A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind
So if you remember a child on a corner of time
You'll know that I wrote this to repay your nickels and dimes
