heaven is a lonely place
Singer:john mellencamp
grandma's off her medicine
looking for the winning card
tryin' to get my mind straight now
it's a little bit narrow but i know somehow
thou shalt not kill thou shalt not steal
but you know thou always will
they're taking down those golden gates
they're taking down those golden gates
can't seem to find the truth
crystal meth with the paymaster
sippin' on a hundred proof
wonder what the price will be
for actin' like such a fool
they're taking down those golden gates
they're taking down those golden gates
they're taking down those golden gates
so i guess it'll never end
brother hell enemies friends
the fire's burning out of control
there's just no hope for me
might as well nail me to a tree
here i am just another case
i guess i can't take a hint
of what was said and what was meant
somehow we always come out blind
when it comes to our hearts
they're taking down those golden gates
they're taking down those golden gates
