With Lennon and McCartney barely speaking, Paul went off and wrote this nostalgic and touching chronicle of their halcyon days as friends and Beatles. McCartney believed in the magic of music to heal.

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 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
 
 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
