Because You're Mine, I Walk The Line.

Everybody Was Wearing Rhinestones, All Those Sparkly Clothes, And Cowboy Boots. I Decided To Wear A Black Shirt And Pants And See If I Could Get By With It. I Did And I've Worn Black Clothes Ever Since.

I Walk The Line Was My Third Record.

Sam [phillips] Wanted I Walk The Line Up - You Know, Up-tempo. And I Put Paper In The Strings Of My Guitar To Get That (vocalizing) Sound, And With The Bass And The Lead Guitar, There It Was. Bare And Stark, That Song Was When It Was Released. And I Heard It On The Radio And I Really Didn't Like It, And I Called Sam Phillips And Asked Him Please Not To Send Out Any More Records Of That Song.

God Ain't No Stained Glass Window, Cause He Never Keeps His Window Closed.

My Father Was A Cotton Farmer First And - But He Didn't Have Any Land Or What Land He Had, He Lost It In The Depression. So He Worked As A Woodman And Cut Pulpwood For The Paper Mills, Rode The Rails In Boxcars Going From One Harvest To Another To Try To Make A Little Money Picking Fruit Or Vegetables.
