Billy works too hard, trying to make ends meet He´s gotta pay his credit cards, yeah he´s been dealing with the odds that even
Vegas can´t beat By six he´s out of bed, she makes his coffee sweet He grabs his boots & his coat, leaves a note that says I Love You And runs to catch a bus down at the end of Market Street Chorus: It took some time to figure it out He´s a rich man living in a poor man´s house He might be down, but he ain´t out He´s a rich man living in a poor man´s house Every night at home, feels like it´s Christmas Eve Gracie´s got his dinner on the stove, Daddy´s coming home And they´ve got seven hungry children that are tugging on his sleeve Chorus: It took some time to figure it out
He´s a rich man living in a poor man´s house He might be down, but he ain´t out He´s a rich man living in a poor man´s house Every night at five when work lets out He´s a rich man living in a poor man´s house He arrives at 9 as the work bell´s ringing Hits the grind but his heart is singing Some men live for money Some men live for work But it´s a real man, a richer man who knows what love´s worth Chorus: It took some time to figure it out He´s a rich man living in a poor man´s house He might be down, but he ain´t out He´s a rich man living in a poor man´s house Every night at five when work lets out He´s a rich man living in a poor man´s house
A rich man living in a poor man´s house A rich man living in a poor man´s house A rich man living in a poor man´s house
