Love Of The Common People Lyrics - Henson Cargill

Livin' on free food tickets water in the milk from the hole in the roof 

Where the rain comes through what can you do uh 

Tears from little sister cryin' cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch 

For the party to go oh but you know she'll get by 

Because she is livin' 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 

It's a good thing you don't have a busfare 

It would fall through the hole in your pocket 

And you'd lose it on 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 lets the snow come through 

And it chills you to the bone boy you'd better go home where it's warm 

Well you're livin' 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 

Livin' on dreams ain't easy 

But the closer the knit the tighter the fit and the chills stay away 

You take 'em in stride family pride 

You know that faith is your foundation 

And with a whole lotta love and a warm conversation of course there's prayer 

Makin' you strong where you belong 

Well you can live in the love of the common people... 

Live in the love of the common people...
