| Living on free food tickets
|
| Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
|
| Where the rain came through
|
| What can you do? |
| hm hm Tears from little sister
|
| Crying '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 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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 |
