Lyrics

[Intro - Honky-tonk piano, bar noise]

[Verse 1 - Male, Baritone, Storytelling]
Aldrick the Bold was three pints deep
With a dwarf he'd met that afternoon
Zerus hit the double pints
And the whole damn tavern smelled like doom
Some skinny guy across the bar
Points a finger our direction
Says hey big arms, I bet you can't
Beat the local legend's collection

[Verse 2]
This barbarian had a pile of coin
Seven hundred eighty silver tall
Been arm wrestling since the morning sun
And he hadn't lost a single fall
He did some pull-ups on the rafters
From his pinkies just to show
Aldrick looked him in the eye
And said alright then, let's go

[Pre-Chorus]
The wizard bet a hundred gold
The rogue bet fifty on the side
The tree put down what trees put down
And everybody picked a side

[Chorus]
Best two out of three
That's what I said when he broke my arm
Best two out of three
Switched my hands and kept my charm
You can snap the bone but not the man
I'll beat you with the other hand
Best two out of three
Best two out of three

[Verse 3 - Building energy]
Round one, the barkeep yelled out go
He slammed so hard the table cracked
Natural one, my arm just snapped
And the whole bar winced and the wizard laughed
But I looked up from the floor and said
Hey big man, that's just the left
We got right hands, we got one more round
And I ain't finished yet

[Pre-Chorus]
The healer used the rod real quick
Five on the die, the bone set clean
I stood back up, five foot seven
Meanest thing that bar had seen

[Chorus]
Best two out of three
That's what I said when he broke my arm
Best two out of three
Switched my hands and kept my charm
You can snap the bone but not the man
I'll beat you with the other hand
Best two out of three
Best two out of three

[Bridge - Slower, dramatic]
Round two he rolled a twenty
I thought my shoulder'd leave my frame
But the gods gave me a twenty too
And we shook that table like a hurricane
Round three, he's pumping up again
Breaking chairs to prove he's tough
I sat down quiet, grabbed his fist
And said friend, I've had enough

[Verse 4 - Big energy]
Thirteen favor from the gods above
Every ounce of stubborn in my veins
Several minutes locked like bulls
And the sweat ran down like Canyon Lake rains
Then his knuckles hit the wood
And the tavern shook the walls
I took a hundred fifty coin
And I bought a round for all

[Chorus - Full, Group Vocals]
Best two out of three
That's what he said when I broke his arm
Best two out of three
Switched his hands and kept his charm
You can snap the bone but not the man
He'll beat you with the other hand
Best two out of three
Best two out of three

[Outro - Spoken over fading music]
And I tossed the big man a coin for his drink
Because that's what bold men do
[End]
