Living on free food tickets Water in the milk from the hole in the roof Where the rain came through What can you do?
Tears for the 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 Because she is living in the love of the common people Smile's in the heart of a family man Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, she can
It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare It would fall through the hole in your pocket And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground Walking to town finding job Tryin' to keep your hands warm But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through And it chills you to the bone Now you’d better go home where it's warm
And you will live in the love of the common people Smile's in 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, she can
You know that living on a dream ain't easy But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit And the chills stay away For you take them in stride with family pride You know that faith is in your foundation With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation And of course there is pray Making you strong where you belong And you will live in the love of the common people Smile's in 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
Living in the love of the common people Smiles in 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, she can.
