I Walk the Line - Johnny Cash - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Johnny Cash promises to remain faithful to his first wife, Vivian Liberto, on one of his best-known songs, "I Walk the Line". This rockabilly-meets-country barnstormer lit the way for the 2005 eponymous biopic of the country music legend, which starred Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash and Reese Witherspoon in her Oscar-winning role as June Carter, and remains a signature tune for "The Man in Black". "I keep a close watch on this heart of mine / I keep my eyes wide open all the time / I keep the ends out for the tie that binds / Because you're mine, I walk the line," he proclaims, vowing to quit his hedonistic ways and stay true to his wife. Did he keep his promise? "I Walk the Line" was recorded at Memphis's Sun Studio in April 1956 and released in May 1956 where it galloped to the top of the US country charts and hung around for six weeks. It also gave Johnny Cash a crossover hit, going to number 19 on the pop music charts.
