I Walk The Line (Revisited)

(albüm: The Houston Kid - 2001)

I'm back on board that '49 Ford in 1956
Long before the sun came up way out in the sticks
The headlights showed a two rut road way 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 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

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
It sounded like the whole thing came right down from outer space
I still can see those headlights and that dashboard in my mind
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 earyp
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
It's 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 known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I Walk The Line
Because you're mine, I Walk The Line
