I Walk the Line (by Johnny Cash)

 

I’ve got the Dark Mark on this arm of mine

These days it burns and itches all the time

I wish you could not see inside my mind

And still I find, I walk the line

 

I find it very scary being here with you

I’d rather be alone when the day is through

I must’ve been a fool to go in search of you

I don’t know why, I walk the line

 

There’s one thing that keeps me on your side

It just so happens I have nowhere else to hide

So I’ll await the turning of the tide

And bide my time, and walk the line

 

As sure as good is bad and wrong is right

As sure as snakes need milking every night

And though you give me such an awful fright

I don’t just whine, I walk the line.
