I Can't Walk The Line

Album: Livin' On A Dream (2007)

Songfacts®:

  • Robin Beck wrote this with her longtime friend and collaborator Jeff Kent. She said in track-by-track comments: "This song just popped out like a cork from a bottle of fine wine... Jimi Bell and his amazing and inspiring guitars just did me in and out came this incredible rock n' roll gem. Jeff Kent and I just laid it all out for those who don't want to be victims of bad relationships." >>>

  • The song title is a nod to Johnny Cash's "I Walk The Line," where the country star promised to remain faithful to his wife while he was on the road.
