BILLY LIVES IN A HARD UP STREET

 
 
Billy lives in a hard up street
Tattered clothing on his body worn out shoes on his feet
The street is poor it doesn't have a name 
Drug dealing and prostitution bring this street heartache and shame 
 
The houses on this street will soon disappear 
My forecast they will be down in less than a year 
Poor Billy has a wife and a little lad 
To see them living this way is upsetting and sad 
 
I am so grateful to have food on the table and a roof over my head 
A comfortable way of life and a comfortable bed 
Poor Billy lives in a hard up street 
Tattered clothing on his body worn out shoes on his feet
