I Walk the Line Page #4

to let my family down

And I'm not givin' you

the runaround

I had rather be dead than to

have to bake my daily bread

And I pay my way

no matter where I'm bound

Well, I didn't really think

that I did wrong

Just as long as I stayed here

where I belonged

I did the only thing I could

same as anybody would

Yes, I was simply trying

to get along

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

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

Roe, come here!

They never know nothin'

about my comin' to you.

Tell them I want

this stuff outta here.

They wouldn't have stood

for it. I done it on my own.

Tell 'em

to get it out fast.

I swear, it had nothin'

to do with it, honest!

I'll write to you.

Don't write!

I wanna see you again. I'll

let you know when you can come.

Don't you do nothin'

like that. You hear me?

Don't you take

no chance like that.

We gonna be in

trouble, Alma?

I don't know, Buddy.

[ Instrumental ]

Here you go.

Rack 'em.

Do it again.

- Can't you sleep, Pa?

- Old man Linton, they cut his tree.

I heard about it.

Tried to hold on to something

ordinary as shade.

It weren't his tree, Pa.

Got a message the other day. I was nappin'.

Dog started barkin',

brought me full awake.

Girls will be back. We'll get

your mother, go fishin', all of us.

Okay, Pop.

Dog's barkin'.

Countryside on fire. I sit

up, there are your sisters.

They're comin' back.

I know it.

Maybe they will, Pop.

You get to bed real soon,

you hear?

Get your paperwork done,

Henry?

Yeah.

Do your back?

Mornin'.

Hiya.

Looks like

I had 'em all.

Or just about.

Cullen. I figured

about Cullen-

two convictions.

'Cept he's 87 years old.

Yeah, this damn county

goes back to the dinosaurs.

Everything goes back to the dinosaurs. Mm.

Before I forget, Wylie,

you gotta see

that revival tent today.

Make sure they don't set too many

chairs in there like they did last time.

Standing on the promises

of Christ my King

Through eternal ages

let His praises ring

Glory in the highest

I will shout and sing

Standing on the promises

of God

Standing, standing

Standing on the promises

of Christ our Savior

Standing

I'm standing on the promises

of God

I'm glad you come.

They're all gone.

Won't be back

for a time.

I'm glad

you figured it.

Oh, I can't figure

nothin' right now.

I have to see you. I have

to see you all the time.

I gotta see you too. I've

been waiting every day to hear.

I told you I would. Well, I

just couldn't wait no more.

Best not to come

direct to you.

Ain't that right?
