Livin' on free food tickets

Water in the milk from the hole in the roof

Where the rain came through

What can you do? Ummhum



Tears from your little sister

Cryin' because she doesn't have a dress

Without a patch, for the party to go

But she knows, she'll get by



She is..Livin' 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

Moma'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

Then you'd loose it in the snow on the ground

Gotta walkin' to town, to find a job



Tryin' to keep your hands warm

But the hole in your shoe,let the snow

Come through and it chills to the bone,

Boy, you better go home,where it's warm



Where you can live in the love of a common people

Smile from the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Moma's gonna love you just as much as she can

And she can



Livin' on a dream ain't easy

But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit

And the chills stayin' away

You can keep them in stride, family pride



You know that faith is your foundation

And with a whole lot of love and a warm

Conversation, but don't forget the prayer

Makin' you strong, where you belong



Where you can live in the love of a common people

Be the pride and the heart of a family man

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Moma's gonna love you just as much as she can

And she can



Yes we're Livin' in the love of a common people

Be the pride and the heart....(fade)
