I Walk the Line (Johnny Cash) reaction

It's a song about staying faithful, but the lyrics make it sound like he's trying to convince himself to stay faithful: "I keep a close watch on this heart of mine." That gives this masterpiece a terrific edge. And when combined with Johnny's inimitable baritone, three guitars on a "train" rhythm and the chord changes, you've got a song that stops you in your tracks.
