(Hurley/Wilkins)
Living on free food tickets. Water in the milk from the hole in
the roof

where the rain came through, what can we do? Mmm.
Tears from your baby 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 you a dream to cling to,
Mommy'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, walking to the town
to find a job.
Trying to keep your hands warm, but the hole in your shoe lets

the snow come through
and it chills to the bone. Boy you better go home where it's
warm.

And 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,

Mommy'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, you take them in stride, family
pride.

You know, faith is your foundation, with a whole lot of love
and a warm conversation and many a prayer, making you strong
where you belong.

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,

Mommy's gonna love you just as much as she can, and 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,
Mommy's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.
