Lyric Nickels and Dimes

I used to stand on the corner when I was a child
And I would 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
Spending my time, spending 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 d 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 sidewalks each night as I stand on the stage
As I play my guitar and sing for the people who pay
Cause finally, I 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
(repeat and fade out)
