18 and Life (LP版)

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 oooh 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

"Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky say

He fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away

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
