Jim Ed Brown Love Of The Common People Lyrics

Love Of The Common People Lyrics

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.

Tears from your little sister crying because 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

Smiles from the heart of the 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

Or it would fall through the hole in your pocket

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

you gotta walk into town to find a job

trying to keep your hands warm

when the hole in your shoes let the snow come through

and chill you to the bone, so now 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

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

and she can





Living on dreams ain't easy

But the closer the knit the tighter the knit and the chills stay away

You keep 'em in stride for family pride

You know that faith is your foundation but with a whole lotta love

And a warm conversation and don't forget to pray

Making you strong where you belong



And we 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

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

and she can
