Song Description

By pairing things that go together, some funny, some mundane, some strange, and comparing these to the relationship of the two singers, the song creates a complexc and realistic portrayal of love that has lasted.

Lyrics

(because this song is a duet, because both the male and the female have lines to themselves, and both also sing together, it's hard to break that down in a way that isn't cumbersome and confusing. I won't try.)

We go together like twisters and trailers,
Like hookers and sailers, like corn bread and beans.
If we just had the cold cash we wouldn't just rehash
The same petty fights and the same ugly scenes.

From the day that I met you just couldn't forget you.
A future together felt like destiny.
While our hearts were craving red flags started waving.
But our love grew stronger and loves always free.

We go together like hairspray and hairdos,
Like schoolkids and new shoes, like soup and saltines.
If we just had the cold cash...

After six years of marriage, third child in the carriage,
We're bot still dreamin' those same faded dreams.
While we weren't counting expenses kept mounting.
That's when you find out what love really means.

We go together like stale bread and toasters,
Like rollers and coasters, like beer and sardines.
If we just had the cold cash...

Between Laundry and garbage, groceries and mortgage,
There's no time or money for just me and you.
Let's drop the kids with the inlaws, pretend like we're outlaws.
We can rekindle that flame, me and you.

We go together like windshields and wipers,
Like bottles and diapers, like ham hocks and greens.
If we just had the cold cash...

We go together like twisters and trailers,
Like hookers and sailers, like corn bread and beans.
These hard times we weather we hold like a treasure,
Cause that's when you find out what love really means,
That's when you find out what love really means.
