Six Blocks Away

He sleeps all alone on Second Street With a roof over his head and food to eat But he can hardly make it day to day cause Everything he wants is six blocks away six blocks away He's got a regular job and it pays the rent In a don't shop on 3rd and 10th But he doesn't understand why she turned him away He can hear her heart beat six blocks away six blocks away Six blocks away dirty old street Six blocks away he can hear her heart beat Six blocks away dirty old street Six blocks away he can hear her heart beat six blocks away He walks real fast down the dirty street He turns his eyes from the people he meets It hurts so bad what can he say He sends her a message six blocks away six blocks away Six blocks away dirty old street Six blocks away he can hear her heart beat Six blocks away dirty old street Six blocks away he can hear her heart beat six blocks away Six blocks away six blocks away --- Six Blocks Away - Lucinda Williams
