I Walk The Line

Lyrics for I Walk The Line

I'm back on board that '49 Ford in 1956 Long before the sun came up, way out in the sticks The headlight showed a two rut roadway, 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 daddy's lap Grandpa rode co-pilot with a flashlight and a map Cane pole out the window it was in the summertime First time I heard Johnny Cash sing 'I walk the line' 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 The first time I heard Johnny Cash sing 'I walk the line' I find it very, very easy to be true I find myself alone when each day's through Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you Because you're mine, I walk the line Ah, skid him back 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' As sure as night is dark and day is light I keep you on my mind both day and night And happiness I've known proves that it's right Because you're mine, I walk the line Because you're mine, I walk the line
