Lyrics

Verse 1:

Living on free food tickets

Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
D#
Where the rain came through
Bb c/g
What can you do? hmm hmm

Tears from little sister

Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress
D#
Without a patch for the party to go
Bb c/g
Oh but you know,she'll get by

Chorus:
C/g f bb f
She is living in the love of the common people
Bb c/g
Smiles from the heart of a family man
F bb f
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
C/g f
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as she can

Verse 3: (a tone higher)
G
It's a good thing you don't have bus fare

It would fall through the hole in your pocket
F
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground
C/g d
A walkin' to town to find a job

Verse 4:

Trying to keep your hands warm

But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through

And the chills to the bone

Oh,you better go home where it's warm

Living on dreams ain't easy

But the closer the knit,the tighter the fit
G
And the chills stay away
D e
You take them in stride,family pride

Verse 6:

You know that faith is your foundation

And with whole lotta love and a warm conversation
G
And plenty of prayer
D e
Making you strong,where you belong
