Love of the Common People Lyrics

Livin′ on three for tear tips
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
But what can you do
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

'Cause she′s living in the love of the common people
Smile from the heart of the family man
Daddy′s gonna find 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 much there
Let it fall through the hole in your pocket
And you lose it in the snow on the ground
Walk into town, 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 better go home where it′s warm

Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smile from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna find you a dream to cling to
Mama′s gonna love you just as much as she can, she can

Living on dreams ain't easy
The closer they get the tighter they fit
And the chills stay away
You take a new stride, family pride
You know that this is your foundation
Through the hole of love and the warm conversation
And of course this prayer
Is making you strong where you belong

Where you can live in the love of the common people
Be the pride in the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna find 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 the family man
Daddy's gonna find you a dream to cling to
Mama′s gonna love you just as much as she can, she can
