To Go Home

Hope baby my mind won't slip
Sailing on a sinking ship
Into the sunset and back
Dark night on a long highway
Little lights in the houses say
Somebody's staying up late

Oh, I'll be true to you
Oh yeah, you know I will
I'll be true to you forever or until
I go home

If I ever treated you mean
You know that it was only because
I was sorry I couldn't have you for my own
I guess it's sort of funny now
Sort of like a plastic putty
Imagination all twisted with the facts

Oh, I'll be true to you
Oh yeah, you know I will
I'll be true to you forever or until
I go home

I have a deep respect for you
Usually reserved for the dead
Hanging on every word that you said
So nice to have a friend like you
Even though you're not around
You're closer to me than most
But kids say the darndest things
hollow hopes and golden dreams
Leave everything empty in the end

Oh, I'll be true to you
Oh yeah, you know I will
I'll be true to you forever or until
I go home

Hope it be my mind don't slip
Sailing on a sinking ship
Into the sunset and back
Gee, it's great to be alive
Takes the skin right off my hide
To think I'll have to give it all up some day

Oh, but I'll be true to you
Oh yeah, you know I will
I'll be true to you forever or until
I go home
