Love Of The Common People

Living on free food tickets

Water in the milk from the hole in the roof

Where the rain came through

What can you do? hm hm



Tears from little sister

Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress

Without a patch for the party to go

Oh but you know,she'll get by



She is living 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

Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as 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

A walkin' to town to find a job



Trying to keep your hands warm

But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through

And the chills to the bone

Oh,you 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

Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as she can



Living on dreams ain't easy

But the closer the knit,the tighter the fit

And the chills stay away

You take them in stride,family pride



You know that faith is your foundation

And with whole lotta love and a warm conversation

And plenty of prayer

Making you strong,where you belong



Where you can live in the love of the common people

Be the pride in the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as she can
