Lyrics
Gold Front Tooth
(Blowers, Heinzelman, Measel)
V1
Cashing in a forty-hour twenty dollar check
Charlie runs into a stickup on the county bank steps
Door flies open, hits him in the mouth
Knocks Charlie’s front tooth out
V2
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
