I guess I'll make the drive

Down past the Texas line
     Bb             Cm
make sure he's not alive

of that muddy Red River floor

Seven miles out of Bismarck next to Bakken Oil lines
  Cm                Eb             Bb         Cm

as far as telephone poles go

some brass through crooked teeth

some brass through crooked teeth
