Indigo Girls - Love Of The Common People lyrics

living on free food tickets

there's water in the milk from the hole in the roof

where the rain came in

but what can you do

well you got 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 that she's gonna get by

living in 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

as she can

oh yeah

and it's a good thing you don't have bus fare

it would fall through the whole in your pocket

and you'd lose it in the snow on the ground

you better walk to town and find a job

oh and you try to keep your hands warm

the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through

and it chills you to the bone

you'd better go home where it's warm

you can live in 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

as she can

oh yeah

living on a dream ain't easy no

but the closer the knit the tighter the fit

and the chills stay away

we like to keep them in stride for family pride

faith is your foundation

got a whole lot of love and a long conversation

but don't forget to pray oh no

it's keeping us strong where we belong

living in 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

living in the love of the common people

(you know that faith is your foundation)

smiles from the heart of the family man

(whole lot of love and a long conversation)

daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

(don't forget to pray it's keeping us strong)

mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

(where we belong)

living in the love of the common people

(oh living on a dream ain't easy)

smiles from the heart of the family man

(but the closer the knit the tighter the fit)

daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

(we like to keep them in stride)

mama's gonna love you just as much as she can

(for family pride)

as she can
