Love of the Common People
Love of the Common People
Livin' on free food tickets
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do?
Tears from your little sister
Cryin' 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go
Oh, but you know she'll get by
Because she's livin' in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can
And she can
It's a good thing you don't have bus fare
It did fall through the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it
In the snow on the ground
Walk into town, find a job
Tryin' to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And it chills you to the bone
Boy, you'd better go home where it's warm
Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
And your mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can
Livin' on a dream's ain't easy
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
You take 'em in stride for family pride
You know that faith is your foundation
With a whole lotta love and a warm conversation
And a force, it's prayer
Makin' you strong where you belong
Where you can live in the love of the common people
See the pride in the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
And your mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can
