18 And Life

Ricky was a young boy He had a heart of stone Lived nine to five 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 no 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 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 running but it never kept him clean They say he loved adventure Ricky's the wild one 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 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 Yaeh Yeah Accidents will happen they all heard Ricky say He fired his six shot to the wind that blew a child away 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 Yaeh Yeah
