I'M BACK ON BOARD
THAT '49 FORD IN 1956
A-LONG BEFORE
THE SUN CAME UP
A-WAY OUT IN THE STICKS
THE HEADLIGHTS SHOWED A
TWO-RUT ROAD WAY BACK UP
IN THE PINES
THE 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 SUMMER TIME
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
AH SKIN IT BACK
MM
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 HEARIN'
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
MM
