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, 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, sleep on another man's floor
Mansions in heaven, see myself walking with the King
The angels are descending to wrap me up in red velveteen
ย
As I pack my suit bag, 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 the winning or losing
Just the singing of the song
Mansions in heaven, see myself walking with the King
The angels are descending to wrap me up in red velveteen
Mansions in heaven, see myself walking with the King
Mansions in heaven
ย
The old paper mill stinks up the beaches
As I walk along the ocean shore
