Songtexte Love of the Common People - Remastered - Lynn Anderson

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, 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
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 you, a dream, to cling to
Mama's gonna love you, just as much as she can, when 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
Plenty of prayer, makin' you strong, where you belong

You can live, on 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, when she can
