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 that 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 

Because you're mine, I walk the line 

Because you're mine, I walk the line 


Keep me on your side 

For love that I can't hide 

I'd even try to turn the tide, yeah! 

Oh, oh, I walk the line
