The hook was drawn out of a hat and for a tunesmith seminar/songwriting contest. Two days later the song was done.
Lyrics
Gold Font Tooth (Heinzelman, Measel, Blowers, Barnett) V1 Cashing in a forty-hour twenty dollar check Charlie runs into a stickup on the county steps Door flies open, hits him in the mouth Knocks Charlie’s front tooth out Next day, front page, hometown news Mug shots, photographs, eyewitness interviews Yeah, I was there, man, I saw the whole thing How Charlie took down the Clermont Gang Chorus And that’s the gospel truth Nothing but the truth Pure one-ninety proof How Charlie got his gold front tooth V2 Now he hasn’t bought a drink in twenty some years Holding court down at the Legion over Pabst Blue Ribbon beers All the blue haired beauties love to gather round And hear how Charlie saved the whole dang town Chorus Break Charlie leans back, takes a drag, pulls his britches up Deep breath, puffs his chest, says, “Aw, shucks – It wasn’t nothin that I’d couldn’t do again You see, these hands are lethal weapons - there was only 10 of them.” Chorus
