i keep a close watch on this heart of mine
i keep my eyes wide open all the time.
i keep the ends out for the tie that binds
because you're mine,
i walk the line
i find it very, very easy to be true
i find myself alone when each day is through
yes, i'll admit i'm a fool for you
because you're mine,
i walk the line
as sure as night is dark and day is light
i keep you on my mind both day and night
and happiness i've known proves that it's right
because you're mine,
i walk the line
you've got a way to keep me on your side
you give me cause for love that i can't hide
for you i know i'd even try to turn the tide
because you're mine,
i walk the line
