I Walk The Line (revisited) Lyrics - Rodney Crowell

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 

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 

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

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 

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 Shakespear read real fine 

Just like hearing Johnny Cash 

Sing I Walk The Line

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 know proves that it's right 

Because you're mine, I Walk The Line 

Because you're mine, I Walk The Line
