Love of the Common People

Livin' 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

Cryin' 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 livin' in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of a family man (Ah, ah, yeah)

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (So cold)

And she can

It's a good thing you don't have bus fare (It's a good thing)

It would fall through the hole in your pocket (Ahh, tch)

And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground (Ow, ah, ah, ah, yeah)

You gotta walk into town to find a job (What's enough?)

Tryin' to keep your hands warm (He's so cold)

When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through

And chill you to the bone (Brr, cha)

Somehow you 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 (Ah, ah, yeah)

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (So cold)

And she can

Livin' on a dream ain't easy

But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit (The closer the knit)

And the chills stay away (Ah, ah, ah, yeah)

'Cause we take 'em in stride for family pride

You know that faith is your foundation

(Ooh, now, ooh, now, ooh, now)

With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation

But don't forget to pray (Don't forget to pray)

Just makin' it strong where you belong

And we're livin' in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of a family man (What's enough?)

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (You're so cold)

And she can

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

Smiles from the heart of a family man (Ah, ah, yeah)

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (You're so cold)

Livin' in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of a family man (What's enough?)

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (You're so cold)

Livin' in the love of the common people

Smiles really hard on a family man (Ah, ah, ah, yeah)

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

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

And she can
