John Mellencamp - Mansions In Heaven Lyrics
Written by John MellencampThe old paper mill stinks up the beachesAs 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, 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 losingJust 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 beachesAs I walk along the ocean shore.
