Rodney Crowell - I walk the line revisited

^GI'm back on board that '49 Ford in 1956 Long before the sun came up^D way out in the sticks ^G The headlights showed a two-rut road Way back up in the^C9 pines ^G First time I heard^D Johnny Cash 'Sing I Walk the^G Line'

^GI got my thrill behind the wheel upon my daddies lap Grandpa rode co-pilot with a^D flashlight and a map ^G Cane pole out the window It was in the summer^C9 time ^G First time I heard^D Johnny Cash Sing 'I Walk the^G Line'^G7

I keep a^C close watch on this heart of mine I keep my^G eyes wide open all the time I keep the^C ends out for the tie that binds Because you're^D7 mine I walk the^G line

^GI never will forget that day, I know the time and place Sounded like the whole thing came righ^Dt down from outer space ^G I still can see those headlights and that dashboard in my^C9 mind ^G First time I heard^D Johnny Cash sing I walk the^G line^G7

I find it^C very very easy to be true I find myself^G alone when each day is through Yes I'll admit^C that I'm a fool for you Because you're^D7 mine I walk the^G line

^GAll these long years later it's still music to my ears I swear it sounds as good right now as^D anything I hear ^G I've seen the Mona Lisa I've heard Shakespeare read' real^C9 fine ^G Just like hearing^D Johnny Cash Sing 'I Walk the^G Line'^G7

As sure as^C night is dark and day is light I keep you^G on my mind both day and night And happi^Cness that I've known proves that it's right Because you're^D7 mine I walk the^G line Because you're^D7 mine I walk the^C line^{D G}
