1.  Livin' on free food tickets,
 water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the rain  came through.
 What can you do?  Ahah.
Tears  from the little sister, crying because she doesn't have a dress
 without a patch for the party  to go.
 But she knows,  she'll get by.
 Ref.:
 Cause 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,
Mama's  gonna love you just as much  as she can. And  she can.
 2. It's  a good thing you don't have bus fare.
 it will fall through the hole in your pocket
 and you lose it in the snow  on the ground.
 You gotta walk into town,  to find a job.
Trying  to keep your hands warm,
 but the hole in your shoe let the snow come through,
 until you tie  them on.
 Somehow you better go home  where it's warm.
 Ref. 2:
 Where 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,
Mama's  gonna love you just as much  as she can. And  she can.
 3. Living on a dream ain't easy.
 But the closer the net, the tighter the fit that you'll stay away.
 Just to take them in style for the family pride.
 You know that faith is a new foundation and a whole lotta love
 and a warm conversation, but don't forget to pray.
 Just making it strong, where you belong.
 Ref. x3
