Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 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 [Chorus] Your crooked teeth are floatin' and my lady's restin' fine Seven miles out of Bismarck next to Bakken oil lines I laid her down so softly and so kindly reassured Love it ain't for tamin', a disease that can't be cured [Verse 3] And I'll drive 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 trusting man, but a trusting man is weak The only thing worth trusting is some brass through crooked teeth Some brass through crooked teeth Some brass through crooked teeth [Chorus] Your crooked teeth are floatin' and my lady's restin' fine Seven miles out of Bismarck next to Bakken oil lines I laid her down so softly and so kindly reassured Love it ain't for tamin', a disease that can't be cured [Verse 4] 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 mighty drug, a mightier disease Bet he misses her floatin' past the barge With one eye and crooked teeth
