I've been on a bit of a Johnny Cash jag lately; listening to his American Recordings series, his historic At Folsom Prison and several CDs of his collected works. I've kinda had Johnny Cash on the brain. And it got me to thinking, "Hey, maybe there's a hidden meaning behind his song titles."
What got me going was I Walk the Line. When were were younger the lyrics we sang were, "I keep my pants done up with a piece of twine, because you're mine, just pull the twine". Yeah, pretty silly, eh? Well, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
I Walk The Line
The mantra of the surviving members of the Flying Wallendas.
Ring Of Fire
The result of drinking 13 Coronas the night before.
Man In Black
What they called that movie before they signed Will Smith to co-star with Tommy Lee Jones.
One Piece At A Time
Rules for successfully completing jigsaw puzzles
Send A Picture Of Mother
His first request if Norman Bates had gone to prison.

The Beast In Me
That's the last time I order those double Tabasco sauce-laced burritos with jalapeno peppers.
Cry, Cry, Cry
I said that's the last time I order those double Tabasco sauce-laced burritos with jalapeno peppers.
Personal Jesus
The Latino fella that you pay under the table for doing your gardening.

It's also funny that last night the hubs and I were watching Shawshank Redemption (LOVE IT), and we were at THAT scene when Andy becomes a *itch and we said Johnny Cash sang a song about it: At Folsom Prison *itch!
hahahaha
Well not for what happened to Andy or the thousands of other prison *itches.
Ouch.
Just pull the twine. Cute!
*Clears throat* Funny stuff Dufus! Well, except for that lawyer joke, of course. That wasn't funny at all. Lawyers are people too. I think.
:-)
That being said, did you take it?
Hey, you've been trolling. Good to see you've been taking yourself on a little tour, here.
