I used to be able to (sort of) play guitar and I loved playing 'Walk the Line".

It is a good song!

lol, its the slightly rude version I sing:

I keep my pants up with a piece of twine

I keep my arms wide open all the time

I keep myself quite willing all the time

Because you're mine

Please pull the twine.

lol
