Now that I know that I've needed you so, help me, Jesus. My soul's in your hand.

There's a lot of things blamed on me that never happened. But then, there's a lot of things that I did that I never got caught at.

Love is a burning thing and it makes a firey ring.

Happiness is being at peace, being with loved ones, being comfortable...but most of all, it's having those loved ones.

I haven't been familiar with hard work. It was no problem for me. But first I hitchhiked to Pontiac, Mich. and got a job working in Fisher Body making those 1951 Pontiacs.

I had a song called "Folsom Prison Blues" that was a hit just before "I Walk The Line." And the people in Texas heard about it at the state prison and got to writing me letters asking me to come down there. So I responded and then the warden called me and asked if I would come down and do a show for the prisoners in Texas.

I Walk The Line was my third record.
