Lyrics Wanda Jackson

Wanda Jackson

Love Of The Common People

Livin' on free food tickets water in the milk from the hole in the roof

Where the rain came through what can you do

Tears from little sister cryin' cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch

For the party to go oh but she knows she'll get by

Cause she is livin' in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of the family man

Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to

Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can and she can

It's a good thing you don't have a busfare

It would fall through the hole in your pocket

And you'd lose it on the snow on the ground a walking to town to find a job

Tryin' to keep your hands warm

But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through

And it chills to the bone boy you'd better go home where it's warm

And you can live in the love

Livin' on dreams ain't 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 a whole lot of love and a warm conversation and plenty of prayer

Making you strong where you belong

And you can live in the love,

Oh yes we live in the love
