Ever since my early days
I've always had my rebel ways
We never did see eye to eye
You were stubborn as hell but so was I
I've been running wild since I was sixteen
I was a reckless kid doing stupid things
Wherever I went trouble wasn't far
And it landed me behind these bars
So I'm on my knees and I'm begging, please
Spare me now and I'll change my life
But we both know that's a lie
If you help me out just one last time
Lord, I swear to you I'll walk the line
Here I sit in this county jail
I am praying someone will pay my bail
You see I never meant to hurt no one
But I didn't know he'd have a gun
So I'm on my knees and I'm begging, please
Spare me now and I'll change my life
But we both know that's a lie
If you help me out just one last time
Lord, I swear to you I'll walk the line
Now I look back at my life of sin
And I realize the shape I'm in
You see I tied the knot in my own rope
Now the hangman's here and I'm losing hope
So I'm on my knees and I'm begging, please
Spare me now and I'll change my life
But we both know that's a lie
If you help me out just one last time
Lord, I swear to you I'll walk the line
If you help me out just one last time
Lord, I swear to you I'll walk the line
I'll swear to you I'll walk the line
Lord, I swear to you I'll walk the line
