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 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
