Johnny Cash — I Walk the Line Revisited

[Verse 1: Rodney Crowell] 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 [Verse 2: Rodney Crowell] 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 [Hook 1: Johnny Cash] 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 [Verse 3: Rodney Crowell] I never will forget that day, I know the time and place It 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 [Hook 2: Johnny Cash] 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 [Guitar Solo: Johnny Cash] Ah, skinny pack (Mmmmmmmmmmm) [Verse 4: Rodney Crowell] 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 [Hook 3: Johnny Cash] 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 [Outro: Johnny Cash] Because you're mine, I walk the line
