18 And Life
Lyrics
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5 and he worked his fingers to the bone
Just barely get out of school, came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, oh no
full lyrics...

Bang bang shoot 'em up, the party never ends
"Accidents will happen", they all heard Ricky say
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away
Just barely get out of school, came from the edge of town
He had no money, no, no good at home
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, oh no

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
And now it's 18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Lived 9 to 5 and he worked his fingers to the bone
They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one"
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
He walked the streets as soldier and he fought the world alone
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
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
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go, yeah
