[Verse 1: Rock duet male and female leads, the male lead first, rough and loud over the pounding drums] We signed it on a Monday at a lawyer's in town She took the house on Fulton, I took the old brown hound She took the good guitar, I took the van and the debt Twelve years in a marriage, and it's over, and we're set Now we split the gas money down to the cent And we never ride together, and we never pay rent [Verse 2: Rock duet female lead, fierce and loud, answering him] He still leaves the coffee on the dash of the van Still tunes in the dressin' room as loud as he can He still sings the second verse a half a beat late And he still calls me "Lynnie," and I still hate Every little thing I was wild for at twenty Every little thing, and he's still got plenty [Chorus: Rock duet male and female leads together, in harmony] We can't share a kitchen, we can't share a car We can't split a check at the end of the bar But stand us at one mic and count it off, one, two, three And we only get along in harmony [Verse 3: Rock duet male and female leads trading lines] He says the drummer's draggin', she says the drummer's fine She says the set's too long, he says it's right on time Fight in the parkin' lot, fight in the hall Fight at the sound check till the soundman climbs the wall Then the lights go down, and the crowd starts to yell And the two of us walk out like we're walkin' through hell And she leans to the mic, and I lean to it too And the whole room hears what the two of us knew [Chorus: Rock duet male and female leads together, in harmony] We can't share a kitchen, we can't share a car We can't split a check at the end of the bar But stand us at one mic and count it off, one, two, three And we only get along in harmony [Bridge: Rock duet male and female leads, first unison, both voices on the same note for the first time] Monday we signed it, and it was done Friday the band got the deal, and we won Five more years on the same stage Five more years on the same page We don't agree on a single thing Except the song, except the song [Verse 4: Rock duet female lead, then the male lead, building] So I'll take the left side and he'll take the right And we'll drive separate cars to the same bar every night And he'll still be late, and I'll still be mad And it's still the best damn thing that the two of us had [Chorus: Rock duet male and female leads together, last time, full band] We can't share a kitchen, we can't share a car We can't split a check at the end of the bar But stand us at one mic and count it off, one, two, three And we only get along in harmony [End]
