Johnny Cash

[LiverpoolCol]

What does the song I walk the line by Johnny Cash mean? Is it about him staying clean for his girlfriend or is it about him being in prison?

Well accordin' to wikipedia : " The song is about Cash staying faithful to his wife at the time, Vivian while on the road: I find it very, very easy to be true/I find myself alone when each day is through/Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you/Because you're mine/I walk the line. "

I think an English writer would have made it 'toe the line'.
