Intro: G5
G5
I'm back on board that '49 Ford in 1956

Long before the sun came up way out in the sticks
G5
The headlights showed a two-rut road
C5
Way back up in the pines
G5 D5
First time I heard Johnny Cash
G5
'Sing I Walk the Line'
G5
I got my thrill behind the wheel upon my daddies lap

Grandpa rode co-pilot with a flashlight and a map
G5
Cane pole out the window
C5
It was in the summer time
G5 D5
First time I heard Johnny Cash
G5 G5
Sing 'I Walk the Line'
Chorus 1:
C5
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
G5
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
C5
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
D5
Because you're mine
G5
I walk the line
G5
I never will forget that day, I know the time and place

Sounded like the whole thing came right down from outer space
G5
I still can see those headlights
C5
and that dashboard in my mind

First time I heard Johnny Cash

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 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 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
