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
