**************** LOVE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE ******************
written by John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1:
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
Verse 2:
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
Chorus:
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
Verse 3: (a tone higher)
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
Verse 4:
Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And the chills to the bone
Oh,you better go home where it s warm
Chorus bis:
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 her just as much as she can,as she can
Verse 5: (a tone higher)
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
Verse 6:
You know that faith is your foundation
And with whole lotta love and a warm conversation
And plenty of prayer
Making you strong,where you belong
Chorus ter:
Where you can live in the love of the common people
Be the pride in the heart of a family man
Daddy s gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamma s gonna love her just as much as she can,as she can
