nickels and dimes
(Dolly Parton/Floyd 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
