I'm lucky and love her very much...when I look at her I think of these two.

[Blanca BusaLess]

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line​

I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line​

As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line​

You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line​

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line​

We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout,
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around,
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson,
Look out Jackson town.​

Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
You're goin' to Jackson; go comb your hair!
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson.
See if I care.​

When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow. (Hah!)
All them women gonna make me, teach 'em what they don't know how,
I'm goin' to Jackson, you turn-a loose-a my coat.
'Cos I'm goin' to Jackson.
"Goodbye," that's all she wrote.​

But they'll laugh at you in Jackson, and I'll be dancin' on a Pony Keg.
They'll lead you 'round town like a scalded hound,
With your tail tucked between your legs,
You're goin' to Jackson, you big-talkin' man.
And I'll be waitin' in Jackson, behind my Jaypan Fan,​

Well now, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper Sprout,
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
I'm goin' to Jackson, and that's a fact.
Yeah, we're goin' to Jackson, ain't never comin' back.​

Well, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout'
And we've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went...​

Love is a burning thing
and it makes a firery ring
bound by wild desire
I fell in to a ring of fire...​

I fell in to a burning ring of fire
I went down,down,down
and the flames went higher.
And it burns,burns,burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire.​

The taste of love is sweet
when hearts like our's meet
I fell for you like a child
oh, but the fire went wild..​

I fell in to a burning ring of fire.....[etc]​

Just feeling a bit nostalgic, remembering going to the Grande Ole' Opry and watching these two.
Also thank God for my wife.​

I got into Johnny Cash too late in life. He was a true musical genius and a badass.

The real fortune in moving to Bakersfield is Buck Owen's Crystal Palace. I've seen David Allen Coe and Merle Haggard. Willie Nelson and Dwight Yoakam are gonna pop up this year yet, but it's always short notice. If I'm lucky we'll get Hank Jr. too.

That would be cool. When I was growing up in Nashville my folks always used to take us to see Hee Haw be filmed live. I was even on one episode. Anyone who remembers when they used to call a name of a town , population 172 and then jump up out of the corn field and say 'SaaaaaaaLute'? They came and picked some kids out of the audience to be the wavers in the corn field. My one claim to stardom
