There was a time
When I would stay out all night long
I saw no line
Separating right from wrong
Deep inside I knew
There’s got to be a better way
You see, love was missing from my human condition
Until I first saw you that day
We’re like biscuits and gravy
You and me, baby
We’re the best combo I know
I don’t mean maybe
We’re like biscuits and gravy
Forever, I’m your man - and you’re my lady
Looking at you
I can finally feel the beat of my heart
From my point of view
I’m more alive now than when we were apart
Hope you feel the same
And want me ‘til the end of time
Because some things, like different guitar strings
Are better when they’re combined
We’re like biscuits and gravy
You and me, baby
We’re the best combo I know
I don’t mean maybe
We’re like biscuits and gravy
Forever, I’m your man - and you’re my lady
I know we’ll be happy
For many years to come
I always said,
"A pair of shoes is always better than one"
Side by side,
Nothing better get in our way
Can’t you just see you and me, I said,
Can’t you just see you and me
Partners in crime ‘til we’re old and grey?
We’re like biscuits and gravy You and me, baby
We’re the best combo I know I don’t mean maybe
We’re like biscuits and gravy
Forever, I’m your man -
(repeat & fade)
Songwriter's Notes: This is an upbeat yet touching song that describes a lifelong and loving relationship as a tasty metaphor. Inspired by the singer-songwriter’s own marriage, the genre of this tune can best be described as a fusion of "country rock" and "pop rock" with a memorable, punchy chorus. Rock on and bon appetit!
