Intro:
I m back on board that 49 Ford in 1956
Long before the sun came up way out in the sticks
The headlights showed a two-rut road
Way back up in the pines
First time I heard Johnny Cash
Sing I Walk the Line
I got my thrill behind the wheel upon my daddies lap
Grandpa rode co-pilot with a flashlight and a map
Cane pole out the window
It was in the summer time
First time I heard Johnny Cash
Sing I Walk the Line
Chorus 1:
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you re mine
I walk the line
I never will forget that day, I know the time and place
Sounded like the whole thing came right down from outer space
I still can see those headlights
and that dashboard in my mind
First time I heard Johnny Cash
sing I walk the line
Chorus 2:
I find it very very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes I ll admit that I m a fool for you
Because you re mine
I walk the line
All these long years later it s still music to my ears
I swear it sounds as good right now as anything I hear
I ve seen the Mona Lisa
I ve heard Shakespeare read real fine
Just like hearing Johnny Cash
Sing I Walk the Line
Chorus 3:
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness that I ve known proves that it s right
Because you re mine
I walk the line
Because you re mine
I walk the line
