The Everly Brothers 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
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
Smiles 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 bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'll lose it in the snow on the ground
Walk into 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
Boy, you better go home where it's warm

Where you can live in the 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
I can take them in stride for family pride

You know that faith is your foundation
And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
Maybe a prayer making you strong
Where you belong

Where you can live in the 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

Living in the 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

Living in the 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
