I Walk the Line Page #3

before your song's over.

You can turn in that

next grove there. Hmm? Oh.

You can stop right here

if you want.

Don't the road

go on in?

It's all right.

Well, listen now.

I didn't have

nothin' in mind.

But it's all right.

It's me.

Had a phone call-

Mr. Bascomb.

He get you? He said he tried

the office, but you was out.

I had to see about some

trouble, uh, out on Horse Pike.

Kids,

down from Sutton.

Said he'd get you

in the mornin'.

Who is he?

He's a revenue man.

Whiskey?

Mm-hmm.

I thought the Dentons were the last

with any kind of still worth goin' after.

Why don't they just let 'em

be? They don't hurt nobody.

Maybe some new people

will come in, huh?

So, when you get a little time, why, the

people from Washington would appreciate...

your making a list

of those who got the habit.

Or, uh, those

you ever caught.

Or, uh, those

who've been suspect.

Many as you can

will be appreciated.

People from Polderaine,

Loomis Canyon, Finchberg.

Well, you just go back as

far as you think's necessary.

You want a list now? Oh,

no, no, no, not this minute.

I'll wander back in

in a few days or so.

I'll give every one of them to

you out of my head right now.

Elsie, put 'em down while I

call 'em off. Mister- Mister, uh-

Uh, Hunnicutt.

Hunnicutt.

Well, Mr. Hunnicutt, we don't

wanna oversimplify our work...

to those up there in the

tower, now do we, huh?

You just take your time.

Well, many thanks, Sheriff.

We'll get on it for ya.

You know, uh, not much

action around here, huh?

Now, your barber told me I'd have

to go all the way over to Sutton...

to find any life

after sunset.

Of course, unless I wanna

take in a civic meetin'.

Yeah, that's about it

for Shelton.

Regular action here, that's

what you find in these hills.

Yeah, I suppose so.

People here just try

to survive, that's all.

Some make a little moonshine.

Don't really harm nobody.

Just pushin' a little extra

sometimes so as they don't end up...

with their chins in their hands

for the rest of their lives.

Well.

On this side of the law

On that side of the law

Who is right

Who is wrong

Who is for

and who's against the law

Well, you see I didn't

really mean you any harm

But I simply couldn't make it

on the farm

When the land

won't give a lot

You gotta do

with what you got

And all I got's

the muscle in my arm

Well, I wouldn't ever hurt

my fellow man

And, mister, it seems to me

you'd understand

I'm just tryin'

to help myself

Without hurtin'

anybody else

And a man has got to do

the best he can

On this side of the law

On that side of the law

Who is weak

Who is wrong

Who is for

and who's against the law

Oh, I didn't really mean
