Golden Gates
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 of
in this world
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
If I could I'd get us a big suite
Overlooking the Park
Only promise I know to be true
Are the promises made from the heart
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
Who can I call to make my reservations
Forever thrown in the dark
The only promises I know to be true
Are the promises made from the heart
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 love the way that I want to
The only promises I know to be true
Are the promises made from the heart
"Every day is St. Patricks' Day!"
John Mellencamp
