John Mellencamp — Golden Gates

[Intro] Ain't no golden gates gonna swing open Ain't no streets paved in natural pearl Ain't no angel with a harp comin' singin' Leastways not that I know of in this world [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Only promises I know to be true Are the promises made from the heart Just the promises made from the heart [Vese 2] 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 hands Who can I call to make my reservations? Forever thrown in the dark [Chorus] The only promises I know to be true Are the promises made from the heart Just the promises made from the heart [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] The only promises I know to be true Are the promises made from the heart Just the promises made from the heart
