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
