I Walk the Line
In the Harmony of Devotion: Navigating Love's Boundaries with George Jones
Lyrics
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I am vigilant in protecting my emotions.
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I am always alert and observant.
I keep the ends out for the ties that bind
I am cautious about relationships and potential connections.
Because you're mine, I walk the line
My commitment to you makes me stay on the right path.
I find it very, very easy to be true
Fidelity comes naturally to me.
I find myself alone when each day's through
I often find myself in solitude at the end of each day.
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
I acknowledge my vulnerability and deep affection for you.
Because you're mine, I walk the line
My devotion to you guides my choices and actions.
You've got a way to keep me on your side
Your influence keeps me supportive and loyal.
You give me 'cause for love that I can't hide
Your love gives me reasons that I cannot conceal.
For you, I know I'd even try to turn the tide
I would make efforts to overcome challenges for you.
Because you're mine, I walk the line
My commitment to you defines my path.
As sure as night is dark and day is light
My dedication to you is as certain as the contrast between night and day.
I keep you on my mind both day and night
You are a constant presence in my thoughts.
And happiness, I've known proves that it's right
Past experiences of joy validate the righteousness of our connection.
Because you're mine, I walk the line
My actions are guided by the fact that you belong to me.
