Love Of The Common People

Living on free food tickets, water in the milk from the hole in the roof, where the rain came through, what can you do? Hmm hmm. Tears from little sister, crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch for the party to go, oh but you know, she'll get by. She is living in the love of the common people, smiles from the heart of a family man, daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to, mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as she can. It's a good thing you don't have bus fare, it would fall through the hole in your pocket, and you'd lose it in the snow on the ground, a walkin' to town to find a job Trying to keep your hands warm, but the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through, c and it chills to the bone, oh, you better go home, where it's warm. Where you can live in the love of the common people, smiles from the heart of a family man, daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to, mamma's gonna love you just as much as she can, as she can. Living on dreams ain't easy, but the closer the knit, the tighter the fit and the chills stay away, you take them in stride, family pride. You know that faith is your foundation, and with a whole lotta love and a warm conversation, and plenty of prayers, making you strong, where you belong.
