There were lies, there was crime I'm glad to say they were pa**ing phases There were words, there were rhymes There was calm and sometimes there were rages Just a man, who at times, learned to live, walk the line But maybe slipped sometimes After all is said and done you've gotta walk before you run It's all-right And that's OK I've seen the light Come Judgement Day When it arrives I won't care if I do die, do die, do die, do die On do die day There were tears, there were sighs That were only put on airs and graces There was fear there were cries Some forgotten but some of them left traces Just a man, who at times, learned to live, walk the line But maybe slipped sometimes After all is said and done you've gotta walk before you run But it's all-right And it's OK I've seen the light Come Judgement Day When that arrives I won't care if I do die On do die day No 1 - you gotta walk to run No 2 - you gotta lose a few No 3 - you gotta win to see That No 1 - you gotta walk to run It's all-right And that's OK I've seen the light Come Judgement Day When it arrives I won't care if I do die, do die, do die, do die On do die day There were dreams, there was light There was hope combined with inspiration There was pain, there were fights There was fire and of course sensation Just a man, who at times, learned to live, walk the line But maybe slipped sometimes After all is said and done you've gotta walk before you run It's all-right And it's OK I've seen the light Come Judgement Day When that arrives I won't care if I do die On do die day
