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                                                  Em
The headlights showed a two-run roadway back up in the pines,
G                  D                           G
First time I heard Johnny Cash sing I Walk the Line.
G
I got my thrill behind the wheel upon my Daddy's lap,
                             D
Grandpa rode co-pilot with a flashlight and a map,
G                                             Em
Cane pole out the window, it was in the summertime.
G                  D                           G
First time I heard Johnny Cash sing I Walk the Line.
         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                G
Because you're mine, I walk the line.

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