Social Distortion
Ring Of Fire (Johnny Cash/June Carter)
Lyrics:
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by one’s desire
I fell down into a ring of fire
Chorus:
I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down down down and the flames went higher
It burns burns burns that ring of fire that ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Ohhh but the fire went wild
Chorus:
I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down down down and the flames went higher
It burns burns burns that ring of fire that ring of fire and it burns
Chrous:
I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down down down and the flames went higher
It burns burns burns that ring or fire that ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I hide before you like a child
Ohhh but the fire went wild
Chorus:
I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down down down and the flames went higher
It burns burns burns that ring of fire that ring of fire
(One more time)
Chorus:
I fell into a burning ring of fire
Went down down down and the flames went higher
It burns burns burns that ring of fire that ring of fire
That ring of fire
That ring of fire
I honestly thought that I would most likely never play guitar in a live situation again other than myself and my acoustic guitar and even then I didn’t think I would be playing in front of anyone again. It crazy how things work out.
This is my guitar story…
As the story goes, I really started playing electric guitar again because I was in the music store buying my daughter a new guitar amp and I made the foolish mistake of plugging a guitar into an amp.
Next thing you know I am buying a new guitar and well one thing led to another and invited over one of my childhood friends as well as the bass player in the band I was in when I was a kid.
At this point, I just thought it would be fun to get together and jam with my friend. I shared what we did on my Instagram channel and a funny thing happened. I will share that story on my next blog post.
Here is the video we recorded on that night.
I’ll share with you the next part of my guitar story in the next post.
