At that, I wonder what "walking the line" is about. I'd thought it meant living totally freely, "to the fullest", sort of on the line between life and death. Apparently it means quite the opposite though!: Yes, these expressions both mean to "behave," or take care not to deviate from the "straight and narrow."
... Listening to the Johnny Cash song, I have some other ideas, but I'll leave it to you if you wish to respond.
I am listening to the song now, and I can see how he might be right (about assuring June Carter that he is going to behave). I added that interest shortly after seeing the movie "Walk The Line" and the way June uses it to him in the movie is definitely in the sense of "you're walking the line, ie flirting with danger or disaster". Then they show him writing and singing the song just after that. So maybe it's after all a double meaning.
Not sure if I want to remove it... I'll have to think about that.
