Love of the Common People

Living on free food tickets
Watering 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
Ah, but you know, she'll get by

'Cause she’s living 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
Momma's gonna love her just as much as she can, and she can

It's a good thing you don't have bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pockеt
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground
You'rе walking to 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 to the bone
Boy, you'd better get home where it’s warm

Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy’s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Momma's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can

Now 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, faith is your foundation
And with a whole lot of love
And a warm conversation and you gotta have 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 you a dream to cling to
Momma's gonna love you just as much as she can

'Cause you’e living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Momma's gonna love you just as much as she can, yes you're
