Love Of The Common People Lyrics - Jim Ed Brown

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
