Living on free food 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 know 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 bus fare   It would fall through 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 through   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 closer the knit, the tighter the fit   And the chills stay away   Keeping '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   'Cause 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      Yes, 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      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      Living in the love of the common people   Smile's really hard on 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
