Indigo Girls - Love Of The Common People lyrics

Living on free food tickets There's water in the milk from the hole in the roof Where the rain came in But what can you do Well you got tears from your little sister Crying cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch For the party to go Oh but you know that she's gonna get by 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 As she can Oh yeah And it's a good thing you don't have bus fare It would fall through the whole in your pocket And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground You better walk to town and find a job Oh and you try to keep your hands warm The hole in your shoe lets the snow come through And it chills you to the bone You'd better go home where it's warm 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 As she can Oh yeah Living on a dream ain't easy no But the closer the knit the tighter the fit And the chills stay away We like to keep them in stride for family pride Faith is your foundation Got a whole lot of love and a long conversation But don't forget to pray oh no It's keeping us strong where we belong 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 Living in the love of the common people (you know that faith is your foundation) Smiles from the heart of the family man (whole lot of love and a long conversation) Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to (don't forget to pray it's keeping us strong) Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (where we belong) Living in the love of the common people (oh living on a dream ain't easy) Smiles from the heart of the family man (but the closer the knit the tighter the fit) Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to (we like to keep them in stride) Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can (for family pride) As she can
