Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris weren't romantically involved. He was her mentor and he died an early death. I think that reference is not so much about the love aspect of the song but an homage to their musical influences.
The fact that June Cash was also a musician, no doubt influenced by the great Johnny, speaks further to the interpretation of this song being about music and musical influence. They are the "ghost in [First Aid Kit's] mind"
