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
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 parkin' lot, his knees were already blown
Love is such a might drug, a mightier disease
Bet he misses her, floatin' past the barge with one eye and crooked teeth
One eye and crooked teeth, Lord, one eye and crooked teeth
♪
Your crooked teeth been floatin' and my lady's restin' fine
Seven miles out of Bismark, next to the Bakken oil 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
Only thing worth trustin' is some brass through crooked teeth
Brass through crooked teeth, Lord, brass through crooked teeth
