Livin` on free food tickets water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain comes through what can you do uh
Tears from little sister cryin` cause she doesn`t have a dress without a patch
For the party to go oh but you know she`ll get by
Because she is livin` in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy`s gonna buy her 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 through the hole in your pocket
And you`d lose it on the snow on the ground a walking to town to find a job
Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And it chills you to the bone boy you`d better go home where it`s warm
Well you`re livin` in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the 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
Livin` on dreams ain`t easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit and the chills stay away
You take `em in stride family pride
You know that faith is your foundation
And with a whole lotta love and a warm conversation of course there`s prayer
Makin` you strong where you belong
Well you can live in the love of the common people...
Live in the love of the common people...
