living on free food tickets
water in the milk from
a hole in the roof
where the rain came through
what can you do
tears from your little sister
crying cause she doesn't
have a dress without a patch
for the party to go
but you know she'll get by
cause she's
living in the love of the common people
smile's 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
it's a good thing you
don't have a busfare
it would fall thru the hole in
your pocket and you'd lose it
in the snow on the ground
you got to walk into town to find a job
tryin to keep your hands warm
when the hole in your shoe
lets the snow come thru
and chills you to the bone
now you'd better go home
where it's warm
where you can live in a
love of the common people
smile 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
living on a dream ain't easy
but the closer the knit
the tighter the fit
and the chills stay away
just to take em in
stride for family pride
you know that faith
is in your foundation
and with a whole lot of love
and a warm conversation
but don't forget to pray
making it strong where you belong
and we're living in the
love of the common people
smile's 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
smile's 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
yes we're living in the
love of the common people
smile's 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
yes we're living in the
love of the common people
smile's really hard on 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
