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

INSTRUMENTAL

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.
