You Have To Be What You Are.

I Keep My Eyes Wide Open All The Time.

Inside The Walls Of A Prison My Body May Be, But My Lord Has Set My Soul Free.

A Song Stylist Is, Like, To Take An Old Folk Song Like "delia's Gone" And Do A Modern White Man's Version Of It.

The Requests Started Coming In From Other Prisoners All Over The United States. And Then The Word Got Around. So I Always Wanted To Record That, You Know, To Record A Show Because Of The Reaction I Got. It Was Far And Above Anything I Had Ever Had In My Life, The Complete Explosion Of Noise And Reaction That They Gave Me With Every Song. So Then I Came Back The Next Year And Played The Prison Again, The New Year's Day Show, Came Back Again A Third Year And Did The Show.

I Started To Write The Song. And I Was In Gladewater, Texas, One Night With Carl Perkins And I Said, I've Got A Good Idea For A Song. And I Sang Him The First Verse That I Had Written, And I Said It's Called "because You're Mine." And He Said, "i Walk The Line" Is A Better Title, So I Changed It To "i Walk The Line."
