Nickels and Dimes

Nickels and Dimes - The Hit Co.

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
