Livin' on free food tickets water in the milk from the hole in the roof
|
Where the rain comes through what can you do uh
|
Tears from little sister cryin' cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
|
For the party to go oh but you know she'll get by
|
Because she is livin' 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
|
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can and she can
|
|
It's a good thing you don't have a busfare
|
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
|
And you'd lose it on the snow on the ground a 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 you to the bone boy you'd better go home where it's warm
|
Well you're livin' 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
|
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can and she can
|
|
Livin' on dreams ain't easy
|
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit and the chills stay away
|
You take 'em in stride family pride
|
You know that faith is your foundation
|
And with a whole lotta love and a warm conversation of course there's prayer
|
Makin' you strong where you belong
|
Well you can live in the love of the common people...
|
Live in the love of the common people...
