　　歌词：

　　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 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

　　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

　　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
