Here we are, come see us driving in your car.
In the morning's dim, break it off with him.
You said something there. Something throws me from my chair.
I refuse to talk this hour, 'cause I don't need this now.
You're a sure thing, but I know
I don't need this now.
You're an old friend we both know
I could take you out.
And last night I did something that I don't wanna hear.
Bring your sister out, we'll be leaving now.
And I punched upset, and it's buzzing in my ear.
Bring your sister out, we'll be leaving now.
You're a sure thing but I know
You can count me out.
You're an old friend. We both know
I could take you out.
I see it now. I see it slow, I see it now. I see it now.
Here we are, come see us filing in my car and take a spin
Break it off with him.
He says something there. Something throws me from my chair.
Bring your sister out, we'll be leaving now.
You're a sure thing but I know
You can count me out.
You're an old friend. We both know
I could take you out.
In the morning's dim, break it off with him.
You said something there. Something throws me from my chair.
I refuse to talk this hour, 'cause I don't need this now.
You're a sure thing, but I know
I don't need this now.
You're an old friend we both know
I could take you out.
And last night I did something that I don't wanna hear.
Bring your sister out, we'll be leaving now.
And I punched upset, and it's buzzing in my ear.
Bring your sister out, we'll be leaving now.
You're a sure thing but I know
You can count me out.
You're an old friend. We both know
I could take you out.
I see it now. I see it slow, I see it now. I see it now.
Here we are, come see us filing in my car and take a spin
Break it off with him.
He says something there. Something throws me from my chair.
Bring your sister out, we'll be leaving now.
You're a sure thing but I know
You can count me out.
You're an old friend. We both know
I could take you out.

I see it this way
With the entire break up concept bows + arrows brought to the table. "My Old Man" is the part where he knows his ex has a new boyfriend and he had found out the night before, doing something possibly drunkenly and thoughtless but was enough to prove to his ex he still loves her. Whom in turn still is desiring him/ wants him back. And this man just doesn't make sense with his ex girlfriend in the first place.
He angers him, it 'throws him from his chair.'
He knows her, he knows how she is, 'bring your sister out.'
So early the next morning they get a hold of one another, and he half heartily apologizes for acting like an ass the night before but he doesn't 'need it now.'
Leaving her with the final ultimatum:
If you're with me, then cmon, 'break it off with him' and we'll take your sister out and have a good time.
There's a few things I heard differently. "I refuse to talk this out cause I don't need this now." I think that makes more sense, but maybe these are the official lyrics. The most crucial way my interpretation differs from yours is that when he says, "You're an old friend we both know. I could take you out," I think he's referring to the new lover, being one of their mutual acquaintances. And of course, taking him out would mean kicking his ass.
