lyrics

Hope it be my mind don't slip
Sailing on a sinking ship
Into the sunset in death
Dark night on a long highway
Good ol' 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
Hangin' 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
