John Denver - Love Of The Common People Lyrics
This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the whose garden was this? album, and has also been released on the changes album.Living on free food ticketsWatering the milk from the hole in the roolWhere the rain came throughWhat can we do?Tears from your baby sister cryingCause she doesnt have a dressWithout a patch for the party to goAh, but you know shell get by because shesLiving in the love of the common peopleSmiles from the heart of a family manDaddys going to buy you a dream to cling toMommys gonna love you as much as she can, and she canIts a good thing you dont have bus fareIt would fall through the hole in your pocketAnd youd lose it in the snow on the groundWalkin to town to find a jobTryin to keep your hands warmBut the hole in your shoe lets the snow come throughAnd it chills to the boneBoy you better go home where its warmAnd you can live in the love of the common peopleSmiles from the heart of a family manDaddys goin to buy you a dream to cling toMummys goin to love you as much as she canAnd she canLivin on dreams aint easyBut the closer the knit, the tighter the fitAnd the chills stay awayYou take them in stride, family prideYou know faith is your foundationWith a whole lot of love and a warm conversationAnd many a prayerMaking you strong, where you belongLiving in the love of the common peopleSmiles from the heart of a family manDaddys goin to buy you a dream to cling toMummys goin to love you just as much as she canYeahLiving in the love of the common peopleSmiles from the heart of a family manDaddys goin to buy you a dream to cling toMummys goin to love you just as much as she canYeahWords and music by hurley wilkins
