Lyrics of 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 daddys 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 know proves that it's right
Because you're mine, i walk the line

Because you're mine, i walk the line
