Rodney Crowell - I walk the line

^G I'm back onboard that '49 Ford in 1956, Long before the sun came up, ^Dway out in the sticks. The ^Gheadlights showed a two-run roadway back up in the ^Empines, ^GFirst time I heard ^DJohnny Cash sing I Walk the ^GLine.

^GI got my thrill behind the wheel upon my Daddy's lap, Grandpa rode co-pilot with a ^Dflashlight and a map, ^GCane pole out the window, it was in the summer^Emtime. ^GFirst time I heard ^DJohnny Cash sing I Walk the ^GLine.

I keep a ^Cclose watch on this heart of mine, I keep my ^Geyes wide open all the time. I keep the ^Cends out for the tie that binds, Because you're ^Dmine, I walk the ^Gline.

^GAll these long years later its still music to my ears, I swear it sounds as good right now as ^Danything I hear. I've ^Gseen the Mona Lisa, I've heard Shakespeare, read real ^Emfine, ^GJust like hearing ^DJohnny Cash sing I walk the ^Gline.

As sure as ^Cnight is dark and day is light, I keep you ^Gon my mind both day and night. And happi^Cness I've known proves that its right, Because you're ^Dmine, I walk the ^Gline. Because you're ^Dmine, I walk the ^Gline.
