Golden Gates Lyrics - Singles - Mellencamp John Cougar

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 knwo if 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 Iknow to be true 

Are the promises made from the heart
