Songtexte Six Blocks Away - Lucinda Williams

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
