Two Of Us is both a sweet and a bittersweet song for several reasons:

• It was one of the last times we heard Paul McCartney and John Lennon sing in harmony
• It’s a very sweet, heartfelt song. Initially written for Linda Eastmann (or was she McCartney by then?), it actually serves as sort of a tribute to John Lennon
• It’s cheerful and wistful at the same time–it sounds like a song about an everlasting friendship, but ultimately you can tell it’s a goodbye song as well.

One way or the other, it’s a great song.

And of course, the 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

(Repeat bridge & last verse)
