Love Of The Common People Lyrics

Living on free food ticketsThere's water in the milk from a hole in the roofWhere the rain came throughWhat can you do?You've got tears from your little sisterCrying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patchFor the party to goBut you know she's gonna get by.-chorus-Living in the love of the common peopleSmiles from the heart of a family manDaddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling toMomma's gonna love you just as much as she canAnd she can.It's a good thing you don't have bus fareIt would fall through the hole in your pocketAnd you'd lose it the snow on the groundYou better walk to town and find a job.And you try to keep your hands warmBut the hole in your shoe lets the snow come throughAnd it chills you to the boneYou better go home, where it's warm.-chorus-Living on a dream ain't easyBut the closer the knit, the tighter the fitAnd the chills stay awayWe like to keep them in stride with family pride.Faith is your foundationGot a whole lot of love and a warm conversationBut don't forget to prayIt's keeping us strong where we belong.-chorus-Living in the love of the common people(...You know that faith is your foundation)Smiles from the heart of a family man(...Little bit of love and a warm conversation)Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to(...Don't forget to pray, it's keeping us strong)Momma's gonna love you just as much as she can(...Where we belong)Living in the love of the common people(...Oh, living on a dream ain't easy)Smiles from the heart of a family man(...But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit)Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to(...We like to keep 'em in stride)Momma's gonna love you just as much as she can(...Family pride)And she can
