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 donut 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
