Love of the Common People

Living on free food tickets

Water in your milk from a hole in the roof

Where the rain came through

What can you do when you're new?

Tears from your little sister

Crying because she doesn't

Have a dress without a patch

For the party to go

Oh, but she knows she'll get by

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

Smiles from her heart of the family man

Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to

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

It's a good thing you don't have bus fares

It'll fall through the hole in your pocket

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

You gotta walk into town to find a job

Trying to keep your hands warm

But the hole in your shoe

Lets the snow come through

And it chills you to the bone

So now you better go home where it's warm

And you can live in the love of the common people

Smiles to your heart and the family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mamma's gonna love you just as much as she can and she can

Living on a dream ain't easy

The closer the knit

The tighter the fit

And the chill stay away

Keep the man's strive

The family proud

You know that faith is your foundation

A whole lot of love and a warm conversation

But don't forget to pray

Just make it strong where you belong

So you can live in the love of the common people

Smiles to your heart and the family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mamma's gonna love you just as much as she can and she can

Living in the love of the common people

Smiles to your heart and the family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

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

Living in the love of the common people

Smiles to your heart and the family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
