Lynn Anderson - Love Of The Common People Lyrics

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...



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...
