Love of the Common People

Living on free food tickets

Water in the milk from a hole in the roof

Where the rain came through

What can you do? Who-hoo-hoo

Tears from your little sister

Crying because she doesn't have a dress without a patch

For the party to go

Oh, but you know she'll get by

'Cause she's living in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of the family man

Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to

And 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 would fall through the hole in your pocket

And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground

You'd have to walk into town to find a job

Trying to keep your hands warm, 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

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

Living on dreams ain't easy

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

And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation

And, boy, don't forget to pray

It makes you strong, where you belong

And you can live in the love of the common people

Pride in the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

And mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

And she can

Live in the love of the common people

Pride in the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

And mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

Live in the love of the common people

Pride in the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

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

Live in the love of the common people

Pride in the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna...
