Livin' on free food, tickets |
|
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof |
|
Where the rain came through |
|
What can you do? hmm |
|
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. |
|
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 her just as much as she can, she can. |
|
It's a good thing you don't have the bus fare |
|
It would fall through the hole in your pocket |
|
And you'd lose it in 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 let the snow come through |
|
And it chills to the bone, boy |
|
You'd better go home where it's warm. |
|
Where you can live 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 her just as much as she can, 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 |
|
And plenty of prayer |
|
Making you strong where you belong. |
|
Where you can live 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 her just as much as she can, she can... |
