I Walk the Line – Johnny Cash Lyrics

(Verse 1) I keep a close watch on my honor And I never play with fire I’ve got too many irons in the fire For the love of the world’s desire

(Chorus) And I walk the line I walk the line, yeah

(Verse 2) I’m a faithful man, I’m true to my word I’m like a homing bird I’ll never stray, I’ll never roam I’ll always be coming home

(Chorus) ‘Cause I walk the line I walk the line, yeah

(Bridge) If I ever did break your heart I’d lose more than I could bear And I’m willing to pay For the things that I’ve said

(Chorus) I’ll walk the line, I’ll walk the line, yes I’ll walk the line I’ll walk the line, yeah

(Outro) I’ll walk the line I’ll walk the line, yeah

I’ll walk the line I’ll walk the line I’ll walk the line I’ll never lose your love, no no I’ll walk the line I’ll walk the line I’ll walk the line I’ll always be coming home I’ll always be coming home
