I Walk The Line
I Walk The Line
I Walk The Line
Johnny Cash
[Chorus]
A E7 A
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
A E7 A
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
A D A
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
A E7 A
Because you're mine, I walk the line
[Verse]
A E7 A
I find it very, very easy to be true
A E7 A
I find myself alone when each day is through
A D A
Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you
A E7 A
Because you're mine, I walk the line
A E7 A
As sure as night is dark and day is light
A E7 A
I keep you on my mind both day and night
A D A
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
A E7 A
Because you're mine, I walk the line
[Chorus]
A E7 A
You've got a way to keep me on your side
A E7 A
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
A D A
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
A E7 A
Because you're mine, I walk the line
