[Verse 1]
A
Livin' on free food tickets,
G
water in the milk from a hole in the roof where the rain came through.
D E
What can you do? Ahah.
A
Tears from the little sister, crying because she doesn't have a dress
G
without a patch for the party to go.
D E
But she knows, she'll get by.
[Refrain]
A D
Cause she's living in the love of the common people,
A E
smiles from the heart of a family man.
A D
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
A E E7 A
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can. And she can.
[Verse 2]
A
It's a good thing you don't have bus fare.
it will fall through the hole in your pocket
G
and you lose it in the snow on the ground.
D E
You gotta walk into town, to find a job.
A
Trying to keep your hands warm,
but the hole in your shoe let the snow come through,
G
until you tie them on.
D E
Somehow you better go home where it's warm.
[Refrain 2]
A D
Where you can live in the love of the common people,
A E
smiles from the heart of a family man.
A D
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
A E E7 A
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can. And she can.
[Verse 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.
[Refrain] (x3)
