Hope it be my mind don't slip
Sailing on a sinking ship
Into the sunset in bed
Dark night on a long highway
Little lights in the house that say
Somebody's staying up late
Oh whoa-oh-oh-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 bunny
Imagination all twisted with the past
Oh oh-oh-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
It's nice to have a friend like you
Even though you're not around
You're closer to me than most
Kids can say the darnedest things
Hollow hopes and golden dreams
Leave everything empty in the end
Oh oh-oh-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 in bed
Gee, it's great to be alive
Takes the skin right off my hide
To know we'll have to give it all up some day
Oh oh-oh-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
