E
I'm back on board that '49 Ford in 1956,
B
Long before the sun came up way out in the sticks,
E
The headlights showed a two rut road
C#m
way back up in the pines,
E B E
First time I heard Johnny Cash sing I Walk the Line.
E
I got my thrill behind the wheel upon my daddy's lap,
B
Grandpa rode co-pilot with a flashlight and a map,
E C#m
Cane pole out the window it was in the summertime, E B E
First time I heard Johnny Cash sing I Walk the Line.
A
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine,
E
I keep my eyes wide open all the time,
A
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds,
B7 E
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 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,
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.
