To Go Home - Daniel Johnston

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

Hallow 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 in death

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
