I keep my eyes wide open all the time 
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine 
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 [bad word] 
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
