| Song |
"Johnny & June" is the debut single of American country music singer Heidi Newfield, the former lead singer of the group Trick Pony. It is the lead-off single from her debut album What Am I Waiting For, which was released in August 2008 on Curb Records.[1]
Content
The song is a mid-tempo in which the female narrator describes the kind of relationship that she wishes to have with her lover — specifically, one comparable to the relationship between singer Johnny Cash and his wife, June Carter Cash:
- "I wanna love like Johnny and June
- Rings of fire burnin' with you
- I wanna walk the line, walk the line
- Til the end of time
- I wanna love, love you that much
- Cash it all in, give it all up
- And when you're gone, I wanna go too
- Like Johnny and June"
In August 2008, a music video was filmed for the song. It features footage of her singing the song while wearing a white dress. During the chorus, she is surrounded by flames while dressed in black, a reference to Cash's "Ring of Fire".[2]
