Living on free food tickets,
water in the milk from the hole in the roof
where the rain came through
what can you do hmm.
Tears from your little sister crying because she doesn't have a dress without a patch for the party to go,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 you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
and she can
It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare
Or it would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it on the snow on the ground
you gotta walk into town to find a job
trying to keep your hands warm
when the hole in your shoes let the snow come through
and chill you to the bone, so now you better go home where it's warm
Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy you 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 knit and the chills stay away
You keep 'em in stride for family pride
You know that faith is your foundation but with a whole lotta love
And a warm conversation and don't forget to pray
Making you strong where you belong
And we live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
and she can
