Rich Man Living in a Poor Man's House Lyrics - Bon Jovi



1 Billy works too hard, trying to make ends meet

2 He's gotta pay his credit cards, yeah he's been dealing with the odds that even

3 Vegas can't beat

4 By six he's out of bed, she makes his coffee sweet

5 He grabs his boots & his coat, leaves a note that says I Love You

6 And runs to catch a bus down at the end of Market Street


7 It took some time to figure it out

8 He's a rich man living in a poor man's house

9 He might be down, but he ain't out

10 He's a rich man living in a poor man's house

11 Every night at home, feels like it's Christmas Eve

12 Gracie's got his dinner on the stove, Daddy's coming home

13 And they've got seven hungry children that are tugging on his sleeve


14 It took some time to figure it out

15 He's a rich man living in a poor man's house

16 He might be down, but he ain't out

17 He's a rich man living in a poor man's house

18 Every night at five when work lets out

19 He's a rich man living in a poor man's house

20 He arrives at 9 as the work bell's ringing

21 Hits the grind but his heart is singing

22 Some men live for money

23 Some men live for work

24 But it's a real man, a richer man who knows what love's worth


25 It took some time to figure it out

26 He's a rich man living in a poor man's house

27 He might be down, but he ain't out

28 He's a rich man living in a poor man's house

29 Every night at five when work lets out

30 He's a rich man living in a poor man's house

31 A rich man living in a poor man's house

32 A rich man living in a poor man's house

33 A rich man living in a poor man's house
