Walk the Line Lyrics

[Chorus]
Not where I wanna be, but I'm far from home
Just tryna make it on my own
And unless destiny calls, I don't answer phones
This is the line and I walk alone
Ain't no going back now
Don't know where I'm at now
Ain't no going back now
This is the line and I walk alone


[Bridge]
And everything ain't the way I planned it
But when the smoke clears, I'm the last standing

This lifestyle can be so demanding
But I take off like a plane and ain't never landing

[Chorus]
Not where I wanna be, but I'm far from home
Just tryna make it on my own
And unless destiny calls, I don't answer phones
This is the line and I walk alone
Ain't no going back now
Don't know where I'm at now
Ain't no going back now
This is the line and I walk alone

[Outro]
Ain't no going back now
Ain't no going back now
This is the line and I walk alone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

In the opening to her long-awaited debut album The New Classic, Iggy Azalea uses the metaphor of walking on a line to reflect on the long journey she’s had to take to get to where she is today.

As the intro to the album, “Walk the Line” serves to set the scene: no longer is Iggy rapping about female genitalia (“Pu$$y”) or making money by any means necessary (“Murda Bizness”); the mixtape days have passed, and Iggy is ready to begin the next chapter of her career.
