Living on free food tickets,
water in the milk from the hole in the roof,
C G A
where the rain came through, what can you do? Hmm hmm.

Tears from little sister,
crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch
C G A
for the party to go, oh but you know, she'll get by.
G A D G A
She is living in the love of the common people,
D G A
smiles from the heart of a family man,
D G A
daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to,
D G A D
mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as 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
C G A
in the snow on the ground, a walkin' to town to find a job
D
Trying to keep your hands warm,
but the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through,
c G A
and it chills to the bone, oh, you better go home, where it's warm.
G A D G A
Where you can live in the love of the common people,
D G A
smiles from the heart of a family man,
D G A
daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
D G A D
mamma's gonna love you just as much as she can, as she can.
D
Living on dreams ain't easy,
but the closer the knit, the tighter the fit
C G A
and the chills stay away, you take them in stride, family pride.
D
You know that faith is your foundation,
and with a whole lotta love and a warm conversation,
C G A
and plenty of prayers, making you strong, where you belong.
