Jennings Waylon Love Of The Common People Lyrics

Love Of The Common People Lyrics

Verse 1:

 Living on free food tickets	

 Water in the milk from the hole in the roof

 Where the rain came through

 What can you do? 

 hmm hmm

 

 Verse 2:

 Tears from little sister		

 Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress	                         

 Without a patch for the party to goBb            

 Oh but you know, she'll get by

 

 Chorus:

 She is 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

 Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as she can

 

 Verse 3: 

 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

 A walkin' to town to find a job

 

 Verse 4:

 Trying to keep your hands warm	

 But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through	          

 And the chills to the bone	                  

 Oh, you better go home where it's warm

 

 Chorus bis:

 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

 Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as she can

 

 Verse 5: 

 Living on dreams ain't easy	

 But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit

 And the chills stay away

 You take them in stride, family pride	

 

 Verse 6:

 You know that faith is your foundation	

 And with whole lotta love and a warm conversation

 And plenty of prayer

 Making you strong,where you belong

 

 Chorus ter:

 Where you can live in the love of the common people

 Be the pride in the heart of a family man      	

 Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

 Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as she can
