He wasn't born in a cabin
He never fought in a war
But he learned to smile, and quote
Abel
Hickman, and to get his foot in the door
He knows all your problems,
he shares all your dreams
When he laughs, his wife laughs too,
as they ride in their limousines
So wave the flag and take a stand, stand in line and shake his hand,
he says he's your friend, a friend of the common man.
He's got all the answers,
but good days will be back soon
There's one more stock in a copper mine
And a hungry child in each glass room
So wave the flag and take a stand
Stand in line, just shake his hand
He says he's your friend,
a friend of the farming man
Everybody walks day to day to get by
Every morning searching
for reasons to try
Ain't he the friend
of the common man?
He wasn't born in a cabin
He'd never fought in a war
But he learned to smile
And
Colt
Abel
Lincoln had to get his foot in the door
With one hand on the
Bible
He swears he's only here to serve
While everyone says, for better or worse
We get what we deserve
So wave the flag and take a stake
Stand in line to shake his hand
He says he's your friend,
a friend of the common man
He says he's your friend,
a friend of the
Bahamian man
