The Lyrics:
I'll be waiting in Jackson,
Behind my Japan fan.
Why:
June Carter is the one singing these particular lines. I've learned from repeatedly seeing it on karaoke monitors that the word is "Japan" here, so I suppose she means a Japanese fan. But she pronounces it "JAY - pan". For years I wondered what the heck she was saying and would have submitted it as a misheard lyric if I could have figured anything that it sounded like and had known the real lyrics.
