Golden Gate

Ain't no golden gates gonna swing open
Ain't no streets paved in natural pearl
Ain't no angel with a harp come singing
Least ways not that I know of in this worldIn these days of uncertain futures
Who knows what the masters might do
They got their big deals going on, going on
Got nothing to do with me and youIf 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 heartI 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 money man's handsWho 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
Just the promises made from the heartI don't believe in the authorities
They ain't gonna take care of me and you
I don't have all the strength I need
To love the way that I want toOnly promises I know to be true
Are the promises made from the heart
Just the promises made from the heart
