Love Of The Common People Lyrics - Original Album Classics - John Denver

Living on free food tickets 

Watering 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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

Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to 

Mommy's gonna love you just as much as 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.
