Love Of The Common People

Livin' on free food tickets,
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
where the rain came through.
What can you do?

Tears from little sister
crying cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
for the party to go
Oh, but you know shell 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
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, 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
I'll walking to town to find a job.

Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And it chills to the bone.
Or You'd better go home where its warm

Where you can live 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
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, 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 a 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
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, she can
