Johnny's Passing

I'm a Johnny Cash fan. I guess it's inherited from my dad. Well, Johnny passed away yesterday. He was a cool guy, a sincere guy, a guy who made mistakes, but knew to turn to Jesus. So in honor of him, here's one of my favorite songs by him, where he promises to his sweetheart that he'll "walk the line," watch over his heart and actions, to do right by her.

I WALK THE LINE
Johnny Cash

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 ties that bind,
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.

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.

As sure as night is dark and day is light,
I keep you on my mind both day and night,
And happiness proves that I'm right,
Because you're mine I walk the line.
