Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
But don't forget to pray
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can
And we're living in the love of the common people
Living in the love of the common people
Smile's from the heart of a family man
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Smile's from the heart of a family man
You got to walk into town to find a job
Tears from your little sister

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Keeping 'em in stride for family pride

Yes, we're living in the love of the common people
'Cause she's living in the love of the common people
What can you do?
And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
It would fall through the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it

Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can
Living in the love of the common people

Tryin' to keep your hands warm
Smile's from the heart of a family man
'Cause making it strong were you belong
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress
And chills you to the bone
But you know she'll get by
Where you can live in a love of the common people
Smile from the heart of a family man
It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare
Living on a dream ain't easy
Without a patch for the party to go
Where the rain came through
When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
You know that faith is in your foundation

Smile's from the heart of a family man
Now you'd better go home where it's warm
In the snow on the ground
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
And the chills stay away
Smile's really hard on a family man
