Justin Tubb - Love of the Common People Song Lyrics

(Ronnie Wilkins - John Hurley)

Livin' on free food tickets
And there's water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through what can you do, hmm
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.

'Cause 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, and she can.

It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it on 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 lets the snow come through
And it chills you to the bone you'd better go home where it's warm.

For 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.

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 a family pride
You know that faith is your salvation
And with a whole lotta love and a warm conversation and plenty of prayers
A makin' you strong where you belong.

For 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.

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