Sandy Posey 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.
But what can you do?
Tears from your 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.

Because she's living in the love of the common people,
smile's from the heart of a 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 busfare,
It would fall thru' the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it in the snow on the ground.
You walk into town find a job.

Tryin' to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come thru'
and it chills you to the bone.
Girl you'd better go home where it's warm,

Where you can live in a love of the common people, smiles from the heart of a 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 fit
and the chills stay away.
You take 'em in stride for family pride.

You know that faith is in your foundation
and with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
and of course there's the prayer.
Making you strong were you belong

Where you can live in the love of the common people,
smile's from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
And mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
and she can.

Oh Yes, you're living in the love of the
common people,
smile's from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
