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, hmmm? Tears from your little sister Crying because 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 Let the snow come through And chill you to the bone Somehow you'd better go home Where it's warm Where you can live in The 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 'Cause we take '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 It's makin' it strong Where you belong And 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 And she can Yes, 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 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
