Sam Phillips Asked Me To Go Write

You Have To Be What You Are. Whatever You Are, You Gotta Be It.

The Things That Have Always Been Important: To Be A Good Man, To Try To Live My Life The Way God Would Have Me, To Turn It Over To Him That His Will Might Be Worked In My Life, To Do My Work Without Looking Back, To Give It All I've Got, And To Take Pride In My Work As An Honest Performer.

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."

I Keep My Eyes Wide Open All The Time.
