Two of Us Lyrics

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's
Hard earned pay
Two of us 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 so low
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

i would just like to say, tho i'm not proclaiming this to be right, that it could also be about john...notice that his relationship w/ linda was "newfound" and that this song sings about "memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead"...but

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

they are living the carefree lives of musicians, spending the money they made from people buying their records, just "sunday driving," not really caring where the road leads...the they got to a fork in the road and went separate ways, and eventually got lost and can never get back to where they started, all they hav left are the memories...the next verse is about their rebellious youth and the final verse about their current relationship "standing solo," for the first time, without each other..."chasing paper," refers to the pursuit of money, the object that got between them...they're "getting nowhere on the way back home" ...they can't get back to how things were

Its Macca's song to John.

Ah, this song's so lovely! It was written by Paul and it described his then fairly newfound relationship with Linda. From what I've read, Linda introduced Paul to a more pleasant, carefree life. The two would often times take long drives out to the countryside with no particular destination in mind, hence "the two of us riding nowhere."

This song is about John and Paul on the road, writing songs, sending postcards , chasing paper(money). The standing solo bit is this- they both wrote their songs seperately yet both helped each other. They were one lennon/macartney team. The song is also spiritual. We are on our way home, meaning heading towards God/the afterlife. Later expanded into the Long and winding road. Going back home(the source/God)

"I Dig A Pygmy" by Charles Hawtrey and the Deaf-Aids! Phase one in which Doris gets her oats!

I'm a guy, and not sound gay here, but everytime I hear this song I think of my best friend.

I awalys thought this song was about paul and john

It is .. listen to John's harmonies in it . They are like heavenly angels. It can not be for Linda because what possible memories would Paul have of Linda (at that time) that were that long . Sure he may have said "Linda" but the memories are all about the memories he keeps sharing about the Querrymen , Hamburg, etc.

"You and I have memories / Longer than the road that stretches out ahead" Beautiful line. They can go sunday driving, road tripping, spend time together -- do whatever, because whatever task they take on is insignificant compared to the relationship between them both and everything they've done. The upbeat, triumphant, nothing can go wrong nature of the song reflects this mindset.

To me it is a much better tribute to John than anything Paul wrote after his death. It is a lifetime friendship full of love. to wit: Steve Jobs & Bill Gates were being interviewed and were asked about their personal relationship. Bill hesitated and Steve jumped " I can boil any part of my life to a Beatle lyric and when I think about Bill what comes to mind is: You and I share memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead" Even Gates got teary eyed. When a simple line in a poem can hit so...

this song it so cute (for lack of a better word)! it always makes me happy when i listen to it.

Two Of Us and Dig It, Let It Be. So evocative of 1970. My sister gave me her first pressing. It’s like a vinyl holy grail.. Also All Things Must Pass, Stage Fright… ❤️❤️❤️
