Johnny and June

Have you heard that song? The other night, Stephen, the kids and I went to walmart and it started playing. Stephen all of the sudden seemed bothered by something but he wouldn't tell me what. He just said he would tell me later. When we got home and he told me what had changed his mood, I was shocked, to say the least. When Walk the Line came out, I had told Stephen it reminded me of us. The trouble we had in the beginning of our marriage. Johnny never gave up on June, he kept fighting for her even though she wanted nothing to do with it. And because he did they ended up together. That's what we went through when we separated in 2000. If Stephen had given up, we would have been over then. The fact that he didn't and he fought for me made me realize how much I loved him and that I didn't want to go on without him. Well, I just assumed he never listened to me when I would say stuff like that, I just though it was an "in one ear, out the other" type thing. I was wrong. That is why the song upset him, he said it reminds him of that time, of how we were. He even said 2 parts of the song word for word. I was so shocked, I was literally speechless(yes, you may insert joke here). I gotta say, I believed him completely, I felt like he was being completely and utterly truthful with me right then. I went and found the lyrics for it.

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 page two,
Hear the crowd roar,
Make 'em want more,
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 endless 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.
