Texas Heat - Like John And June Every Night

Like John And June Every Night

Two hearts entangled in raging desire
You all heard the story of that burning ring of fire
Married in a fever, walking hand in hand
That big mouth woman, and that guitar-pickin’ man

They lived their love for all the world to see
From Old Hickory Lake to the Sea Of Galilee
She stood in his shadow, but loved with all her heart
To the day when her passing tore his world apart

How would you like to have a love in your life
The kind that John had with June
How would you like to stand on stage together
And show how your love is in bloom
Travelling the world on bus and on plane
Singing for the fans, forgetting the fame
Smiling, holding hands, underneath the light
Just like John and June every night

She threw away his pills, and she saved his life
She was best friend and lover, and his perfect wife
She sang with him on records and the TV screen
The most famous couple Country Music’s ever seen

She worked with Elvis, and with Hank Williams, too
She was actress and comedienne, and mother, through and through
She sang with her family when he was just a kid
But he told her “I will marry you”, and that’s just what he did

They grew closer together when their days were almost done
Ev’rybody thought he’d be the first to be gone
She left this world, but waited in the sweet bye and bye
On the far side banks of Jordan, under a June-blue sky
