Lynn Anderson - Love Of The Common People lyrics
Your rating:
Living on free food tickets, water in the milk from the hole in the roof Where the rain comes through what can you do, hmm Tears from little sister crying '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 living 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, 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 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 you to the bone, oh, you'd better go home where it's warm She is living 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 Living on dreams ain't easy But the closer the knit the tighter the fit and the chills stay away Oh you take 'em in stride, a family pride You know that faith is your salvation And with a whole lotta love and a warm conversation and plenty of prayer A making you strong where you belong 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 you just as much as she can and she can
