Lyrics of Nickels and dimes

1-
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

Chorus

Nickels and dimes
A song at a time
For nickels and dimes

2-
I'd brighten their day
As they'd go on their way
As they'd brighten mine
A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that i held in my mind
I knew that some day, in my own special way
I'd repay all their nickels and dimes

3-
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

Chorus
4-
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 promised to repay your
Nickels and dimes

Chorus

Repeat 4

Chorus

Repeat 4
