About Me

Nickels and Dimes
I used to stand on a corner when I was a child
And Id play my guitar and sing as the people went by
The sidewalks were crowded but Id just sing louder cause I didnt 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
Id brighten their day as they go on their way and theyd brighten mine
A sidewalk rehearsal for dreams that I held in my mind
I knew that someday in my own special Id 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
Youll 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
Youll 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
Youll know that I wrote this to repay your nickels and dimes

My Interests

I can see youre disappointed By the way you look at me And Im sorry that Im not The woman you thought Id be Yes, Ive made my mistakes But listen and understand My mistakes are no worse than yours Just because Im a womanSo when you look at me Dont feel sorry for yourself Just think of all the shame You might have brought somebody elseJust let me tell you this Then well both know where we stand My mistakes are no worse than yours Just because Im a womanNow a man will take a good girl And hell ruin her reputation But when he wants to marry Well, thats a different situationHell just walk off and leave her To do the best she can While he looks for an angel To wear his wedding bandNow I know that Im no angel If thats what you thought youd found I was just the victum of A man that let me downYes, Ive made my mistakes But listen and understand My mistakes are no worse than yours Just because Im a womanNo, my mistakes are no worse than yours Just because Im a woman

Photo by Jim Herrington www.jimherrington.comShe was born in a place called Blue Valley At the foot of the Tennessee hills With the blue birds and blue bells And blue mountain water And the sound of the Blue Whippoorwill But there was no peace in the valley Her daddy, a cruel, ruthless man Used and abused her mind and her body So her mama said run while you can So at fifteen she took to the highway Belongings and guitar in hand And she buried herself in her music The one thing she did understandAnd she sings like a bird and she writes like a poet Her voice has that high, lonesome sound She hurts, and her songs are the best way to show it So the Blue Valley songbird keeps traveling aroundShe hopes someday she will make it And everyone says that she will When she comes to town, crowds flock around To see the girl from the Tennessee hills She writes her letter back home to her mama In care of the preacher in town They're sacred to her so she reads them at church And so her daddy cannot track her downAnd she sings like a bird and she cries like a baby Whenever she turns off the lights She's a whole lot lonesome and a little bit crazy From mem'ries and miseries and dreams gone awryBlue dress, blue shoes, a blue Cadillac A band dressed in blue by her side Instruments tied to the top and the back 'Cause the Blue Valley songbird is singing tonightOne nighters, honky tonks, years flying by She never made it, but Lord knows she tries Expressing the feelings she holds inside And the Blue Valley songbird is singing tonight Oh the Blue Valley songbird is singing tonightAnd she sings like a bird and she writes like a poet
