[Verse 1] Well the House of Cash just burned down All the way to the cold hard ground The gawkers came from all over town To see the memories scattered all around Then the stars came out by the light of day And they heard their old friend passed away That yard looked like a funeral hall Without the pies and casseroles [Chorus] Well it’s goodbye Johnny goodbye June Goodbye fancy living room Well no one sleeps in Cash’s bed Except the man in black and the woman he wed And the ring of fire comes full circle And the ring of fire comes all the way around [Verse 2] And if those ashes in the pool could talk To the anchor man out on the walk I’d bet they’d be happy to announce There’ll be no yard sale now [Chorus] Well it’s goodbye Johnny goodbye June Goodbye fancy living room Well no one sleeps in Cash’s bed Except the man in black and the woman he wed And the ring of fire comes full circle And the ring of fire comes all the way around And the ring of fire comes full circle And the ring of fire comes all the way around

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la destruction de la maison emblématique de Cash, symbole de souvenirs et d'héritage. On y ressent une mélancolie face à la perte, avec des références à Johnny et June, qui symbolisent l'amour et la musicalité d'une époque révolue. Les spectateurs se rassemblent pour admirer les restes, tandis que l'absence de enchères dans le jardin souligne le respect et le chagrin ressentis. Ce morceau tourne autour de la nostalgie et de la célébration d’une vie pleine d'émotions et de passion, tout en évoquant cette fameuse "baguette de feu" qui continue de le relier à son passé, à son œuvre et à la personne qu'il a aimée.
