Rich Man Living In A Poor Man's House Lyrics - Bon Jovi

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
