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
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
Because you're mine, I Walk The Line.
