I don't give a damn what people think
I'm gonna smoke my smoke
I'm gonna drink my drink
Daddy taught me how to raise hell
From a crib out in West Texas
To the Ector county jail
I've paid my dues, I did my time
And I've never been one to walk the line
I fly that Dixie flag high in my yard
I spent half my paycheck
Playin' in the local bars
Everything I do, do all wrong
But that's okay, it helps me write
These outlaw country songs
Who said raisin' hell was such a crime?
I've never been one to walk the line
I've never been one to walk the line
Never been good, but I still try
All these southern belles, they blow my mind
They're all so fine
They're all so fine, Lord
I've never been one to walk the line
All my rowdy friends are havin' fun
But all these honeys runnin' round
I'm bound to a look at one
I hope you don't get mad if I get wood
I try not to be bad, sweetheart
And do the things I should
But my way of life gets me in a bind
And I've never been one to walk the line
I've never been one to walk the line
Never been good, but I still try
All these southern belles, they blow my mind
They're all so fine
They're all so fine, Lord
I've never been one to walk the line
