LIVIN' ON FREE FOOD TICKETS
WATER IN THE MILK
FROM A HOLE IN THE ROOF
WHERE THE RAIN
CAME THROUGH
WHAT CAN YOU DO, MMM...
TEARS FROM
YOUR LITTLE SISTER
CRYIN' BECAUSE SHE
DOESN'T HAVE A DRESS
WITHOUT A PATCH
FOR THE PARTY TO GO
BUT YOU KNOW SHE'LL GET BY
'CAUSE SHE'S LIVIN'
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
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
YOU GOTTA WALK INTO TOWN
TO FIND A JOB
TRY'NA KEEP YOUR HANDS WARM
WHEN THE HOLE IN YOUR SHOE
LET'S THE SNOW COME THROUGH
AND CHILL YOU TO THE BONE
SOMEHOW YOU BETTER GO HOME

LIVE IN A LOVE OF
THE COMMON PEOPLE
SMILE 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
LIVIN' ON A DREAM AIN'T EASY
BUT THE CLOSER THE KNIT
THE TIGHTER THE FIT
AND THE CHILLS STAY AWAY
JUST TAKE 'EM IN STRIDE
FOR FAMILY PRIDE
YOU KNOW THAT FAITH
IS YOUR FOUNDATION
WITH A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE
AND A WARM CONVERSATION
BUT DON'T FORGET TO PRAY
JUST MAKIN' IT STRONG
WHERE YOU BELONG
AND WE'RE
LIVIN' 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
