One laugh in the middle of a struggle A diamond at the bottom of a puddle Did you ever stare at the moon until you saw double I hear you walk away from trouble Good love there ain't no denying Bad love somebody ain't trying Did you ever walk someplace just to take the time Or take the fast road and get going Then the rules break There's no mistake These are precious times You and I We walk the line I looked in a frying pan, I seen a soul I looked at a dying man, he sang alone We've got mountains We've got beaches We've got love that make us mad Love that has to teach us I looked in a frying pan, I seen a soul I looked at a dying man, he sang alone When the rules break There's no mistake These are precious times You and I We walk the line... It's a straight and narrow path Each man walks, each man walks the line
