Rich Man Living In A Poor Man's House
Billy works too hard, trying to make ends meetHe's gotta pay his credit cardsYeah, he's been dealing with the oddsThat even Vegas can't beat
By six he's out of bed, she makes his coffee sweetHe grabs his boots and his coatLeaves a note that says, 'I love you'And runs to catch a bus down at the end of market street
It took some time to figure it outHe's a rich man living in a poor man's houseHe might be down, but he ain't outHe's a rich man living in a poor man's house
Every night at home, feels like it's Christmas EveAnd Gracie's got his dinner on the stove, Daddy's coming homeAnd they've got seven hungry childrenThat are tugging on his sleeve
It took some time to figure it outHe's a rich man living in a poor man's houseHe might be down, but he ain't outHe's a rich man living in a poor man's houseEvery night at five when work lets outHe's a rich man living in a poor man's house
He arrives at nine as the work bell's ringingAnd he hits the grind but his heart is singing, yeah
Some men live for money, some men live for workBut it's a real man, richer man who knows what love's worth
It took some time to figure it outHe's a rich man living in a poor man's houseHe might be down but he ain't outHe's a rich man living in a poor man's houseEvery night at five when work lets outHe's a rich man living in a poor man's house
