[Verse 1]
Well, she's got a temper like a Texas storm
My will's strong as brick
Sometimes when we wanna get along
We both gotta get apart quick
Well, we'd take our troubles on the town to mend
But the town's too small for that
So we take our stools and we just pretend
We don't know where the other one's at
[Chorus]
Yeah, parallel bars, one at my feet
One on the opposite side of the street
Where two hearts that just can't meet
Hide 'til the heartache's gone
We had words, we let fly
He took the low road and so did I
Straight downtown, and now here we are
Working it out in parallel bars
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Don't think I'm not thinking 'bout your sweet face
While I knock this 8-ball 'round
While I'm across Main gettin' yours erased
Every highball I knock down
But about midnight, when the storm has blown
And the beer's worn down our pride
We're gonna be makin' tracks back home
And makin' up side by side
[Chorus]
Yeah, parallel bars, one at my feet
One on the opposite side of the street
Where two hearts that just can't meet
Hide 'til the heartache's gone
We had words, we let fly
He took the low road and so did I
Straight downtown, and now here we are
Working it out in parallel bars
[Outro]
We'll go crazy but we won't go far
We'll work it out in parallel bars
(Yeah I see you over there)
(Hell I know what your up to you big drunko)
(Oh Kelly let's say we patch up our differences just meet half way)
(You're about one fifth too for gone for that)
(I'm so drunk i can't even remember why we're scrapping)
(That's cause your an asshole)
(But other than that)
(Aw) (Parallel bars)
