[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: M. Ward]
Hope it be, my mind don't slip
Sailing on a sinking ship
Into the sunset in death
[Verse 2: M. Ward]
Dark night on a long highway
Little lights in the houses say
There's somebody's staying up late, whoa-oh
[Chorus: M. Ward, M. Ward & Neko Case]
I'll be true
To you, oh yeah, you know I will
And I'll be true
To you forever, or until
I go home
[Refrain: M. Ward]
God, it's great to be alive
Takes the skin right off my hide
To think, I'll have to give it all up someday
[Verse 3: M. Ward]
And if I ever treated you mean
You know that it was only because
I'm sorry I couldn't have you for my own
[Chorus: M. Ward, M. Ward & Neko Case]
I'll be true
To you, oh yeah, you know I will
And I'll be true
To you forever, or until
I go home
[Post-Chorus: M. Ward]
I go home
I, I, I, I go home
I, I, I, I go home
I, I, I, I go home
[Refrain: M. Ward]
God, it's great to be alive
Takes the skin right off my hide
To think, I'll have to give it all up someday
