Love of the Common People lyrics

Living 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

Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress

Without a patch for the party to go

But you know she'll get by

'Cause she's living 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

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can

It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare

It would fall through the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it

In the snow on the ground

You got to walk into town to find a job

Tryin' to keep your hands warm

When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through

And chills you to the bone

Now you'd better go home where it's warm

Where you can live in a love of the common people

Smile from the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can

Living on a dream ain't easy

But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit

And the chills stay away

Keeping 'em in stride for family pride

You know that faith is in your foundation

With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation

But don't forget to pray

'Cause making it strong were you belong

And we're living in the love of the common people

Smile's from the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can

Yes, we're living 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

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

Living 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

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

Living in the love of the common people

Smile's really hard on a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can
