I know he was unkind Though I don't know what he did He left a scar on you that you keep hid We could have been so good We could have run the lights Something inside of you just froze up tight I've been half in love before I can't live here anymore Now I walk the line Between the truth and the lies Between the sighted and blind I'm walking the line I was a painter at a sidewalk café Telling my story with a brush and paint Even if the good folks said it's a masterpiece If I don't see the truth, the rain can wash it away I've been half in love before Been too proud to ask for more Now I walk the line Between the truth and the lies Between the sighted and blind Yeah, I'm walking the line Now I walk the line for a taste of your wine To be tied with your twine I am walking the line Only a fool would stay Make his bed out in the rain Out in the rain I have been that man in so many ways For too many days It's all gone astray, all gone astray For your love, I walk the line
