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?

Tears from your little sister,

crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch

for the party to go.

But you she'll get by

'cause she's 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.

It's a good thing you don't have a busfare,

it would fall thru' 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 thru'

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.

You take 'em in stride for family pride.

You know that faith is in your foundation

and with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation

but don't forget to pray.

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,

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.

Yes, we're living in the love of the common people,

smile's from the heart of a family man.

Daddy's gon

na buy you a dream to cling to,

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

Yes, we're 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 s

he can

and she can.<br />
