Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into 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

I Fell Into 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 Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild

I Fell Into 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

I Fell Into 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

And It Burns, Burns, Burns

The Ring Of Fire

The Ring Of Fire

Wow. Thanks for posting those lyrics and stories.
Classic Johnny Cash.

It's kind of funny because for years I thought Cash wrote the song himself about his own drug addiction and was very surprised to find that Carter wrote the lyrics.

Little girl thinks the movie is about her and Mommy. Typical female self-centered point of view.

Get your flame resistant suit on with that comment. ;)

Did anybody see the Tribute to Johnny Cash thing on CBS tonight?

It may be just me but the performances (with a couple of exceptions) really SUCKED and it really just seemed like a commercial for the movie.

I thought she was already divorced when she met Johnny Cash?

Am I incorrect?

[Chi-townChief]

Not necessarily.
