Mansions In Heaven Lyrics - John Mellencamp

The old paper mill stinks up the beaches 

As I walk along the ocean shore. 

I'm just a plain man, thoughts full of creases, 

Haven't accomplished much, but I dream of more. 

Mansions in heaven, I see myself walking with the King. 

The angels are descending to wrap me up in red velveteen. 

I don't control much of my home life, 

I'm not an old man but I'm not young anymore. 

Haven't kept in contact with any of my good friends, 

So I live with strangers and sleep on another man's floor.

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

Mansions in heaven, I see myself walking with the King. 

The angels are descending to wrap me up in red velveteen. 

As I pack my suit bag 'cause soon I'll be leaving, 

Going back to the earth which is where I come from. 

Withstood the heartache, 

Kept on believing, 

It ain't winning or losing 

Just the singing of the song.

Mansions in heaven, I see myself walking with the King. 

Mansions in heaven. 

The old paper mill stinks up the beaches 

As I walk along the ocean shore.
