Love Of The Common People

Livin' on free food, ticketsWater in the milk from the hole in the roofWhere the rain came throughWhat can you do? hmmTears from little sister cryin''Cause she doesn't have a dress without a patchFor the party to goOh, but you know she'll get byShe is livin' in the love of the common peopleSmiles from the heart of the family manDaddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling toMama's gonna love her just as much as she can, she canIt's a good thing you don't have the bus fareIt would fall through the hole in your pocketAnd you'd lose it in the snow on the groundA walking to town to find a jobTrying to keep your hands warmBut the hole in your shoe let the snow come throughAnd it chills to the bone, boyYou'd better go home where it's warmWhere you can live in the love of the common peopleSmiles from the heart of the family manDaddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling toMama's gonna love her just as much as she can, she canLivin' on dreams ain't easyBut the closer the knit the tighter the fitAnd the chills stay awayYou take 'em in stride family prideYou know that faith is your foundationAnd with a whole lotta love and a warm conversationAnd plenty of prayerMaking you strong where you belongWhere you can live in the love of the common peopleSmiles from the heart of the family manDaddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling toMama's gonna love her just as much as she can, she can...
