Two of Us

The Beatles

One of my favorite Beatles songs and it feels like Paul in every way — so simple and infectious — the melody, the earnestness. Fun to watch him walk the band through the song in GET BACK. It’s about he and Linda getting lost in the woods together, so you can feel the tenderness and that it comes from a real place. And how beautiful it is to see this loving montage from the Get Back sessions. Incredible.

Aimee Mann and Michael Penn recorded an excellent version of this song which appears on the I AM SAM soundtrack back in 2001.

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's hard-earned pay
You and me, Sunday driving
Not arriving, on our way back home

We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches, on our way back home

We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road
That stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home

We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

You and I have memories
Longer than the road
That stretches out ahead

Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me, chasing paper
Getting nowhere
On our way back home

We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home

We're going home

You better believe it
Goodbye
