Ain't no golden gates gonna swing open
Ain't no streets paved in natural pearl
Ain't no angel with a harp comin' singing
Leastways not that I know of in this world
ย
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 promises I know to be true
Are the promises made from the heart
Just the promises made from the heart
ย
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
The only promises I know to be true
Are the promises made from the heart
Just 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 I need
To live the way that I want to, yeah
ย
Only promises I know to be true
Are the promises made from the heart
Just the promises made from the heart
