There are 2 ways
(have the layers dialogue open for each):
(assume very simple strokes, each having just 2 nodes)

First method
For the top path, make the left node, and then the right node.
In the paths dialogue click Create New Path button.
Now do the bottom path. Again a left and a right node.
In the paths dialogue right click one of the paths and do Merge Visible Paths.

Second method
For the top path, make the left node, and then the right node.
For the bottom path, Shift-click for the left node and then click for the right node.

For the text
Use the Text to Path option
The text path must be narrower than the guide paths (even if just by a pixel)
Have the text path active when you run the script
When the bend path dialogue opens select the guide path (made by one of the two methods above)
