[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
He's got a regular job and it pays the rent
In a donut shop on Third and Tenth
But he doesn't understand why she turned him away
He can hear her heart beat six blocks away
Six blocks away

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Six blocks away
Six blocks away
Six blocks away
Six blocks away
