Golden Gates
John Mellencamp
[Verse] [Verse] Ain’t no golden gates gonna swing open Ain’t no streets paved in natural pearl Ain’t no angel with a harp come singin’ Leastways not that I know in this world [Instrumental] [Verse] In these days of uncertain futures Who knows what the masters might do They got their big deals goin’ on goin’ on Got nothing to do with me and you [Chorus] If I could I’d get us a big suite Overlooking the Park Only promises I know to be true Are the promises made from the heart Just the promises made from the heart [Instrumental] [Verse] I don’t need to see the whole thing go down I don’t need to see another lonely man I don’t need to see a woman crying for the savior Holding on to some moneyman’s hand {Chorus] Who can I call to make my reservations Forever thrown in the dark Only promises I know to be true Are the promises made from the heart Just the promises made from the heart [Verse] I don’t believe in the authorities They ain’t gonna take care of me and you I don’t have all the strength that I need To live the way that I want to [Instrumental] [Chorus] Only promises I know to be true Are the promises made from the heart Just the promises made from the heart [Outro]
