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
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~
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
18 and life you got it
18 and life you know
your crime is time
And it's 18 and life
to go yeah~~
Accidents will happen
they all heard
Ricky say he fired
his six~shot
To the wind that blew
a child away~
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~
