Billy works too hard
Trying to make ends meet
He's gotta pay his credit cards
Yeah he's been dealing
I 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
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
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
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
A rich man
Living in a poor man's house
A rich man
Living in a poor man's house
Oh hoo
Oh yeah
Oh ho hooo
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh hoo
Oh yeah
Oh hooo
Haaa
