B.J. Thomas - Love Of The Common People lyrics

Living on free food tickets Water in the milk from the hole in the roof Where the rain came through What can you do? hm hm Tears from 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 She is living in the love of the common people Smiles from the heart of a family man Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as she can It's a good thing you don't have bus fare It would fall through the hole in your pocket And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground A walkin' to town to find a job Trying to keep your hands warm But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through And the chills to the bone Oh,you better go home where it's warm Where you can live in the love of the common people Smiles from the heart of a family man Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as she can Living on dreams ain't easy But the closer the knit,the tighter the fit And the chills stay away You take them in stride,family pride You know that faith is your foundation And with whole lotta love and a warm conversation And plenty of prayer Making you strong,where you belong Where you can live in the love of the common people Be the pride in the heart of a family man Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as she can
