[Verse 1]
Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do, mm?
Tears from your little sister
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go
But you know she'll get by

[Chorus]
'Cause she's 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
And she can

[Verse 2]
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 thе ground
You gotta walk into town, find a job
Trying to keep your hands warm
When the hole in your shoе let the snow come through
And chills you to the bone
You'd better go home where it's warm
[Chorus]
Where you're 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
And she can

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Living on a dream ain't easy
The closer the knit, the tighter the fit
Chills stay away
You take it in stride for family pride
Faith is your foundation
With a whole lot of love and warm conversation
But don't forget to pray
Just making it strong where you belong

[Chorus]
And we're 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
And we're 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
And she can
