Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the rain came through
Well, 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
All that you know, she'll get back 

'Cause she's living in the love of the common people
Smiles 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, she can

It's a good thing you don't have much fare
It'll fall through the hole in your pocket and you lose it in the snow on the ground
You walk into town, find a job

Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through and it chills you to bone
Oh, 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, she can

Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter they fit and the chills stay away
You take 'em in stride, family pride

You know that faith is in your foundation
And to a whole lot of love and a warm conversation and ofcourse this pray
Is making you strong were you belong

Where you can live in the love of the common people
Be the pride 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

Oh yes, she's living in the love of the common people
Be the pride 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
