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

[ guitar ]

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

[ guitar ]

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

[ steel ]

I keep a close watch...
