Johnny and June

I heard a song on the radio today, and fell in love with it. Just hearing this one line, I had a smile ear to ear...'I wanna love like Johnny and June'. It's called Johnny and June, by Heidi Newfield.

There are so many things I love about this song, but mainly it's the desire for this woman to love like Johnny Cash, and June Carter Cash did. You don't have to have seen the movie Walk The Line to know that they were deeply in love. They had their struggles I'm sure, and maybe their relationship didn't start out ideally, but it was genuine.

I'm such a huge Johnny Cash fan, and have been for a while. John (my hubby) grew up listening to him, and introduced me to him when we started dating. I know I'm behind compared to him, but better late than never. let me know what you think of it...

And if you don't like it, well...I don't really care :)

Johnny and June

by Heidi Newfield

Oh there's something 'bout a man in black,
Makes me want to buy a cadillac,
Throw the top back,
And roll down to Jackson town,
I wanna be there on the stage with you,
You and I could be the next rage to,
Hear the crowd roar,
Make 'em one more,
I'll kick the footlights out,

I wanna love like Johnny and June,
Rings of fire burnin' with you,
I wanna walk the line,
Walk the line,
'Till the end of time,
I wanna love,
Love ya that much,
Cash it all in,
Give it all up,
When you're gone,
I wanna go too,
Like Johnny and June,

I wanna hold you baby right or wrong,
Build a world around a country song,
Pray a sweet prayer,
Follow you there,
Down in history,

I wanna love like Johnny and June,
Rings of fire burnin' with you,
I wanna walk the line,
Walk the line,
'Till the end of time,
I wanna love,
Love ya that much,
Cash it all in,
Give it all up,
When you're gone,
I wanna go too,
Like Johnny and June,

Like Johnny and June,
More than life itself,
No-one else,
This here is promise,
They don't make love like that anymore,
Is that too much to be askin' for,

I wanna love like Johnny and June,
Rings of fire burnin' with you,
I wanna walk the line,
Walk the line,
'Till the end of time,
I wanna love,
Love ya that much,
Cash it all in,
Give it all up,
When you're gone,
I wanna go too,
Like Johnny and June,

Like Johnny and June,
And when we're gone,
There'll be no tears to cry,
Only memories of our lives,
They'll remember, remember,
A love like that.
