Love Of The Common People

Waylon Jennings

Livin on free food, tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do? HmmTears from little sister cryin
Cause she doesnt have a dress without a patch
For the party to go
Oh, but you know shell get byShe is livin in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddys gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mamas gonna love her just as much as she can, she canIts a good thing you dont have the bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And youd lose it in the snow on the ground
A walking to town to find a jobTrying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And it chills to the bone, boy
Youd better go home where its warmWhere you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddys gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mamas gonna love her just as much as she can, she canLivin on dreams aint easy
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
You take em in stride family prideYou know that faith is your foundation
And with a whole lotta love and a warm conversation
And plenty of prayer
Making you strong where you belongWhere you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddys gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mamas gonna love her just as much as she can, she can
