Love Of The Common People
John  Paul Young


Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can we do

Tears from your 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
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Momma's gonna love you just as much as she can
And she can

It's a good thing you don't have bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'll lose it in the snow on the ground
You gotta walk in the town to find a job

Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And chills you to the bone
So now You better go home where it's warm

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
Momma's gonna love her just as much as she can
And she can

Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
You keep them in stride, for family pride

You know that faith is in your foundation
With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
And a _______ 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
Momma's gonna love her just as much as she can
And she can
