Lyrics: Nickels And Dimes
Album: Heartbreaker
Artist: Dolly Parton
 

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
