Love Of The Common People

[Verse 1]  
                                                              
Livin  on free food tickets,
                                                                
water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the rain came through.
                                                               
What can you do? Ahah.
                                                                
Tears from your little sister, crying because she doesn t have a dress
                                                                
without a patch for the party to go.
                                                               
But you know, she ll get by.

[Refrain]
                                                               
Cause she s living 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,
                                                                  
Mama s gonna love you just as much as she can. And she can.

[Verse 2]
                                                             
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.
                                                              
You gotta walk into town, to find a job.
                                                                
Trying to keep your hands warm,                                                                
when the hole in your shoe let the snow come through,
                                                                
and chill you to the bone.
                                                               
So now you better go home where it s warm.
                                                                 
[Refrain 2]
                                                               
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,
                                                                  
Mama s gonna love you just as much as she can. And she can.

[Verse 3]                                                                 

Living on a dream ain t easy.
                                                       
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit, and the chills stay away.
                                       
Just take them in stride for family pride.
              
You know that faith is your foundation with a whole lotta love
                             
and a warm conversation, but don t forget to pray.
                                  
Just making it strong, where you belong.

[Refrain]
                                                               
And we re living 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,
                                                                  
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,
                                                               
smiles 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.
