You knew when you first met me
I was a good time kind of guy
You wanted me to change my ways
I told you that I'd try

Well I've gone from wild and crazy
To takin' out the trash
Girl it's time to compromise 
And give me a weekend pass

[Chorus:]
Well I can walk the line if it ain't too straight
I'll come home but it might be late
I ain't no devil but lord I ain't no saint
Let out the rope, girl give me some slack
This ol' dog will always come back
You gotta bend the rules and give me a break
Well I can walk the line if ain't too straight

Well I'll love you forever
If I can have a few days off
I'll buy you anything you want
If I can bear the cost

If I ain't gottta punch no clock, girl
You can be the boss
I'll be your mister perfect
If you can overlook my flaws

[Chorus:]

Yeah let out the rope girl
Give me some slack this ol' dog will always come back
Yeah I can walk the line if it ain't too straight
