love of the common people
Living on free feed 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,
Crying cause she doesnt have a dress without a patch
For the party to go.
But you shell get by
Cause shes living in the love of the common people,
Smiles from the heart of a family man .
Daddys gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mamas gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can.
Its a good thing you dont have a busfare,
It would fall thru the hole in your pocket and youd lose it
In the snow on the ground.
You got to walk into town to find a job.
Tryin to keep your hands warm
When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come thru
And chills you to the bone.
Now youd better go home where its warm,
Where you can live in a love of the common people,
Smile from the heart of a family man.
Daddys gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mamas gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can.
Living on a dream aint easy
But the closest the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away.
You take em in stride for family pride.
You know that faith is in your foundation
And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
But dont forget to pray.
Making it strong were you belong
And were living in the love of the common people,
Smiles from the heart of a family man.
Daddys gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
And she can.
