I used to stand on the corner when I was a child
And I played my guitar and sang as the people went by
The sidewalks were crowded but I'd just sing louder cause I didn't mind
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 if 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 sidewalk each night as I stand on the stage
Cause I played my guitar and sang 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 all the time
You'll know that I wrote this to repay those 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 all the time
You'll know that I wrote this to repay those 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...
