LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE
|
Living on free food 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 doesn't have a dress without a patch
|
For the party to go.
|
But you she'll get by
|
|
'cause she's living in the love of the common people,
|
Smile's from the heart of a 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.
|
It's a good thing you don't have a busfare,
|
It would fall thru' the hole in your pocket and you'd 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 you'd better go home where it's warm,
|
Where you can live in a love of the common people,
|
Smile from the heart of a 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.
|
Living on a dream ain't easy
|
But the closer 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 don't forget to pray.
|
Making it strong were you belong
|
And we're living in the love of the common people,
|
Smile's from the heart of a 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.
|
Yes, we're living in the love of the
|
common people,
|
Smile's from the heart of a family man.
|
Daddy's gonna buy you a
