(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
