The Everly Brothers - 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 hm 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, she'll get by Because she's 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 Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can And 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 Walking to town and 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 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 Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can And she can Living on a dreams ain't easy But the closer the knit the tighter the fit And the chills stay away Ah you take 'em in stride, for family pride You know that faith is your foundation And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation Maybe a prayer Making me strong where you belong 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 Living 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 Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
