Ricky was a young boy
He had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5 and worked
his fingers to the bone
Just barely
out of school,
came from
the edge of town.
Fought like a switchblade
so no one
could take him down
Ricky had no money
no, 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
18 and life, you got it
18 and life, you know
Your crime is time
and it's 18 and life to go
Oh woah, woah Yes
Tequila in his heartbeat,
his veins burned gasoline.
He kept his motor runnin'
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 dyin'
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
18 and life, you got it
18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go
Yeah Yeah
"Accidents will happen,"
they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six shot
to the wind. That child
blew a child awaaaay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah
18 and life, you got it,
18 and life, you know
Your crime is time
and it's 18 and life to go
18 and life, you got it,
18 and life, you know
Your crime is time
and it's 18 and life
to go
Yeah, yeah
Yah
woah, woah,
woah,
woooooah
