| If two fill-ups is all it costs, I guess I’ll make the drive
|
| Down past the Texas line, to make sure he’s not alive
|
| They dumped him off of a river bridge in the Fall of '84
|
| Word got around that he climbed out of that muddy red river floor
|
| I lost my bride to the finest man, she claims to have ever known
|
| When she got to the parking lot, his knees were already blown
|
| Love is such a mighty drug, a mightier disease
|
| Bet he misses her, floatin' past the barge with one eye and crooked teeth
|
| One eye and crooked teeth
|
| One eye and crooked teeth
|
| One eye and crooked teeth
|
| Your crooked teeth been floatin' and my ladies resting fine
|
| Seven miles out of Bismark, next to backin' all the lines
|
| I laid her down so softly, and so kindly reassured
|
| Lovin' ain’t for tamin' a disease that can’t be cured
|
| And I would ride through Colorado on a rocky stretch of road
|
| With no one who loves me as far as telephone poles go
|
| I wish I was a trusted man, but a trusted man is weak
|
| The only thing worth trusting is some brass through crooked teeth
|
| Some brass through crooked teeth
|
| Some brass through crooked teeth
|
| Your crooked teeth been floatin' and my ladies resting fine
|
| Seven miles out of Bismark, next to backin' all the lines
|
| I laid her down so softly, and so kindly reassured
|
| Lovin' ain’t for tamin' a disease that can’t be cured
|
| I lost my bride to the finest man, she claims to have ever known
|
| When she got to the parking lot, his knees were already blown
|
| Love is such a mighty drug, a mightier disease
|
| Bet he misses her, floatin' past the barge with one eye and crooked teeth |
