Waylon Jennings - Love of the Common People lyrics

Album: Love of the Common People <RCA Victor> (1967)

(Ronnie Wilkins - John Hurley)

Livin´ on free food, tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do? hmm

Tears from little sister cryin´
´Cause she does not have a dress without a patch
For the party to go
Oh, but you know she will get by.

She is livin´ in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy´s going to buy her a dream to cling to
Mama´s going to love her just as much as she can, she can.

It is a good thing you do not have the bus fare
It´d fall through the hole in your pocket
And you would lose it in the snow on the ground
A walking to town to find a job.

Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And it chills to the bone, boy
You would better go home where it is warm.

Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy´s going to buy her a dream to cling to
Mama´s going to love her just as much as she can, she can.

Livin´ on dreams aint easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
You take em in stride family pride.

You know that faith is your foundation
And with a whole lotta love & a warm conversation
And plenty of prayer
Making you strong where you belong.

Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of the family man
Daddy´s going to buy her a dream to cling to
Mama´s going to love her just as much as she can, she can...
