18 And Life Lyrics

18 And Life lyrics

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

He had no money, ooh
No good at home
He walked the streets a
soldier
And he fought the world alone
And now
it's...

Chorus:
Eighteen and life you got it
Eighteen and life you
know
Your crime is time and it's
Eighteen and life to go
Eighteen and
life you got it
Eighteen and life you know
Your crime is time and
it's
Eighteen and life to go

Tequila in his heartbeat
His veins
burned gasoline
It kept his motor runnin'
But he never kept it
clean

They say he loved adventure
Ricky's the wild on
He married
trouble
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...

Chorus

"Accidents will happen"
They
all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind
That child blew a
child away

(solo)

Chorus
