Rodney Crowell - I walk the line revisited

^FI'm back on board that '49 Ford in 1956 Long before the sun came up^G way out in the sticks ^F The headlights showed a two-rut road Way back up in the^F9 pines ^F First time I heard^G Johnny Cash 'Sing I Walk the^F Line'

^FI got my thrill behind the wheel upon my daddies lap Grandpa rode co-pilot with a^G flashlight and a map ^F Cane pole out the window It was in the summer^F9 time ^F First time I heard^G Johnny Cash Sing 'I Walk the^F Line'^C7

I keep a^F close watch on this heart of mine I keep my^F eyes wide open all the time I keep the^F ends out for the tie that binds Because you're^G7 mine I walk the^F line

^FI never will forget that day, I know the time and place Sounded like the whole thing came righ^Gt down from outer space ^F I still can see those headlights and that dashboard in my^F9 mind ^F First time I heard^G Johnny Cash sing I walk the^F line^C7

I find it^F very very easy to be true I find myself^F alone when each day is through Yes I'll admit^F that I'm a fool for you Because you're^G7 mine I walk the^F line

^FAll these long years later it's still music to my ears I swear it sounds as good right now as^G anything I hear ^F I've seen the Mona Lisa I've heard Shakespeare read' real^F9 fine ^F Just like hearing^G Johnny Cash Sing 'I Walk the^F Line'^C7

As sure as^F night is dark and day is light I keep you^F on my mind both day and night And happi^Fness that I've known proves that it's right Because you're^G7 mine I walk the^F line Because you're^G7 mine I walk the^F line^{G F}
