john mellencamp – mansions in heaven lyrics
the old paper mill stinks up the beaches
as i walk along the ocean sh-r-.
i’m just a plain man, thoughts full of creases,
haven’t accomplished much, but i dream of more.
mansions in heaven, i 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 and sleep on another man’s floor.
mansions in heaven, i see myself walking with the king.
the angels are descending to wrap me up in red velveteen.
as i pack my suit bag ’cause 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 winning or losing
just the singing of the song.
mansions in heaven, i see myself walking with the king.
mansions in heaven.
the old paper mill stinks up the beaches
as i walk along the ocean sh-r-.
