Sandy Posey - Love of the Common People lyrics
[Sandy Posey - Love of the Common People lyrics]
Livin' on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
But what can you do? Ooh ooh ooh
Tears from your little sister
Cryin' '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 livin' in the love
Of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
And Mama's gonna love her just
As much as she can 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 you walk into town
Find a job
Tryin' to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe
Lets the snow come through
And it chills you to the bone
Girl, you better go home where it's warm
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
And Mama's gonna love you just
As much as she can and she can
Livin' on dreams ain't easy
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
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
And of course there's a prayer
Makin' you 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
And Mama's gonna love you just
As much as she can and she can
Oh, yes, you're livin' 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
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
But what can you do? Ooh ooh ooh
Tears from your little sister
Cryin' '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 livin' in the love
Of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
And Mama's gonna love her just
As much as she can 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 you walk into town
Find a job
Tryin' to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe
Lets the snow come through
And it chills you to the bone
Girl, you better go home where it's warm
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
And Mama's gonna love you just
As much as she can and she can
Livin' on dreams ain't easy
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
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
And of course there's a prayer
Makin' you strong where you belong
Where you can live in the

Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
And Mama's gonna love you just
As much as she can and she can
Oh, yes, you're livin' 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
