Love of the Common People — текст песни (Lynn Anderson)

(Ronnie Wilkins - John Hurley)

Livin` on free food tickets, water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain comes 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 you 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 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 you to the bone oh you`d better go home where it`s warm.

And you can live on 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 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
Oh, 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 prayer
A makin` you strong where you belong.

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 you just as much as she can, and she can...
