[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)
