Artist/Band: Iron And Wine
Lyrics for Song: White Tooth Man
Lyrics for Album: The Shepherd's Dog [2007]



Said the plain clothes cop to the beauty queen

"I've seen nothing but a spoke in a wheel"

So she gave up her crown to a kid with a crutch

And they both felt cheated after closing the deal

And the white tooth man, I ran with him

Got all cut up from pissing out in the weeds

And a fight upstate with a broken blade

And a wife whose finger never wanted a ring



Said the plain clothes cop to the Indian chief

"I've made nothing but an honest mistake"

The postman cried while reading the mail

And we all got trampled in the Christmas parade

And the white tooth man who sold me a gun

A map of Canaan and a government bond

Said, "I love this town, but it ain't the same"

The ski mask ripped as he was putting it on



Said the plain clothes cop to the holy ghost

"I've heard nothing if it wasn't the wind"

And we all got sick on a strip club meal

While the statehouse was frying all the witches again

So the white tooth man with his kids in the car

And a wad of money that was already spent

Said, "I love my dog but she just ran away

She'll keep running like the world never ends"
