Love of the Common People - 2024 Remastered

Livin' on free food, tickets

Water in the milk from the hole in the roof

Where the rain came through

What can you do? hmm

Tears from 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.

She is 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

Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, she can.

It's a good thing you don't have the bus fare

It would fall through the hole in your pocket

And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground

A walking to town to find a job.

Trying to keep your hands warm

But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through

And it chills 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 the family man

Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, 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 family pride.

You know that faith is your foundation

And with a whole lotta love and a warm conversation

And plenty of prayer

Making 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 her a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can, she can...
