Ricky was a young boy, He had a heart of stone. |
|
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone. |
|
Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town. |
|
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down. |
|
He had no money, oh no good at home. |
|
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone |
|
And now it's |
|
18 and life You got it |
|
18 and life you know |
|
Your crime is time and it's |
|
18 and life to go |
|
Tequila in his heartbeat, His veins burned gasoline. |
|
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean. |
|
They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one." |
|
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun. |
|
Bang Bang Shoot 'em up, The party never ends. |
|
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend |
|
And now it's |
|
18 and life You got it |
|
18 and life you know |
|
Your crime is time and it's |
|
18 and life to go |
|
"Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky say |
|
He fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away. |
|
18 and life You got it |
|
18 and life you know |
|
Your crime is time and it's |
|
18 and life to go |
