Ya Gotta Walk the Line (Retro version)
He was the man in black
He was a boy named Sue
He went to San Quentin
Said "I hate every inch of you"
He taught the weeping willow
How to cry, cry, cry
He went down, down, down
In a burning ring of fire
He got it one piece at a time
And he took his guns to town
He breezed into Jackson
Sunday morning coming down
It's been many years
Since he walked the line
But the strength of his voice
Still echoes in my mind!
Yeah, there's a line
We all have to walk
And it ain't no good
If you're just all talk
You gotta stand your ground
And then you'll find...
If you wanna be a man
Then you gotta take a stand
And walk the line!
He was the man in black
He was a boy named Sue
He went to San Quentin
Said "I hate every inch of you"
It's been many years
Since he walked the line
But the strength of his voice
Still echoes in my mind!
Yeah, there's a line
We all have to walk
And it ain't no good
If you're just all talk
You gotta stand your ground
And then you'll find...
If you wanna be a man
Then you gotta take a stand
And walk the line!
If you wanna be a man
Then you gotta take a stand
And walk the line!
He was a boy named Sue
He went to San Quentin
Said "I hate every inch of you"
He taught the weeping willow
How to cry, cry, cry
He went down, down, down
In a burning ring of fire

And he took his guns to town
He breezed into Jackson

It's been many years
Since he walked the line
But the strength of his voice
Still echoes in my mind!

We all have to walk
And it ain't no good

You gotta stand your ground

If you wanna be a man
Then you gotta take a stand
And walk the line!
If you wanna be a man
Then you gotta take a stand
And walk the line!
