Love Of The Common People

Living on free food ticketsWater in the milk from the hole in the roofWhere the rain came throughWhat can we doTears from your little sisterCrying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch for the party to goOh but you know she'll get by'Cause she's living in the love of the common peopleSmiles from the heart of the family manDaddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling toMomma's gonna love her just as much as she canAnd she canIt's a good thing you don't have bus fareIt would fall through the hole in your pocketAnd you'll lose it in the snow on the groundOut walking your dog to find a jobTrying to keep your hands warmBut the hole in your shoe lets the snow come throughAnd it chills you to the boneYou better go home where it's warmYou can live in the love of the common peopleSmiles from the heart of the family manDaddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling toMomma's gonna love her just as much as she canAnd she canLiving on dreams ain't easyBut the closer the knit the tighter the fitAnd the chills stay awayYou can take them in stride, for family prideYou know that faith in your foundationAnd with a whole lot of love and a warm conversationAnd don't forget to prayMaking 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 toMomma's gonna love her just as much as she can
