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 begins with 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".cite journal |date=2008-08-25 |title=It's One of Those Songs: Making the video for "Johnny & June" was a labor of love for Heidi Newfield |journal=Country Weekly |volume=15 |issue=17 |pages=29 |issn=1074-3235 |accessdate=2008-08-11]Personnel
