The Love of the Common People Lyrics & Tabs by John Denver
The Love of the Common People
guitar chords lyrics
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
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
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
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
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.
