I Walk The Line

G
 I'm back onboard that '49 Ford in 
1956,
                             D
Long before the sun came up, way out
 in the sticks.
    G                          
The headlights showed a two-run 
                        Em
roadway back up in the pines,
G                  D             
First time I heard Johnny Cash 
              G
sing I Walk the Line.

G
I got my thrill behind the wheel 
upon my Daddy's lap,
Grandpa rode co-pilot with a 
D
flashlight and a map,
G                                 
Cane pole out the window, it was 
            Em
in the summertime.
G                  D             
First time I heard Johnny Cash 
              G
sing I Walk the Line.

Continues after the ad
         C
I keep a close watch on this heart 
of mine,
          G
I keep my eyes wide open all the 
time.
           C
I keep the ends out for the tie that
 binds,
               D               
Because you're mine, I walk the 
 G
line.

G
All these long years later its still
 music to my ears,
I swear it sounds as good right now 
   D
as anything I hear.
     G                             
I've seen the Mona Lisa, I've heard
                        Em
 Shakespeare, read real fine,
G                 D              
Just like hearing Johnny Cash 
             G
sing I walk the line.

           C
As sure as night is dark and day is 
light,
           G
I keep you on my mind both day and 
night.
         C
And happiness I've known proves that
 its right,
               D               
Because you're mine, I walk the 
 G
line.
               D               
Because you're mine, I walk the 
 G
line.
