Living on free feed tickets, |
|
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof |
|
Where the rain came through. |
|
What can you do? |
|
Tears from your little sister, |
|
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch |
|
For the party to go. |
|
But you she'll get by |
|
'Cause she's living in the love of the common people, |
|
Smile's from the heart of a 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 busfare, |
|
It would fall thru' the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it |
|
In the snow on the ground. |
|
You got to walk into town to find a job. |
|
Tryin' to keep your hands warm |
|
When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come thru' |
|
And chills you to the bone. |
|
Now you'd better go home where it's warm, |
|
Where you can live in a love of the common people, |
|
Smile from the heart of a 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 a dream ain't easy |
|
But the closest the knit the tighter the fit |
|
And the chills stay away. |
|
You take 'em in stride for family pride. |
|
You know that faith is in your foundation |
|
And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation |
|
But don't forget to pray. |
|
Making it strong were you belong |
|
And we're living in the love of the common people, |
|
Smile's from the heart of a 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. |
