I Draw the Line (previously unreleased) Songtext
von Johnny Cash

I have tasted honey from the heights of paradise
I have eaten of the bread of ecstasy
I have often fallen to the lure of smouldering eyes
And have given in the wilder side of me

But I draw the line at going on
When I approach the danger zone
And I draw the line at going through
With anything that would lose me you
′Cause I won't give up to thing we′ve got nor give away my peace of mind
I'm often tempted but for you I draw the line

I confess I'm human and I often fantasize
And I let my mind go loving ′round the town
But you should not forget, my heart is bigger than my eyes
And I catch myself before it brings me down


And I draw the line that at going on
When I approach the danger zone
And I draw the line at going through
With anything that would lose me you
′Cause I won't give up to thing we′ve got nor give away my piece of mind
I'm often tempted but for you I draw the line

I sometimes take the low road when the hills are hard to climb
And I know sometimes I play the fool
But I lock it in my heart that I am yours and you are mine
And I straighten up before I break the rules

And I draw the line at going on
When I approach the danger zone
And I draw the line at going through
With anything that would lose me you
′Cause I won't give up to thing we′ve got nor give away my piece of mind
I'm often tempted but for you I draw the line
