Lyrics
You're the caffeine in my coffee
You're the gasoline in my car
You're the fence post that my gate swings on
Without you baby wouldn't get too far
(Female)
You're the mayonnaise in my club sandwich
You're the cinnamon in my apple pie
You put the Lincoln in my Continental
Without you baby I'd just get by
Chorus:
We're the same only different down deep inside
We're kind of like Mr. and Mrs. Jeckyll and Hyde
We go together like fork and spoon
Like rhythm and blues and Johnny and June
Harmonica solo
You know sometimes you drive me crazy
Sometimes I get on your last nerve
You're the roadside along my highway
I love your soft shoulders and your dangerous curves
You're my rock and I'm your hard place
You're the hot coals underneath my feet
They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Without you baby I'd be so weak
Chorus
Pedal steel solo
You're the caffeine in my coffee
You're the gasoline in my car
You're the fence post that my gate swings on
Without you baby wouldn't get too far
