18 And Life
Ricky was a young boyHe had a heart of stoneLived nine to five and he worked his fingers to the boneJust barely out of schoolCame from the edge of townFought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, oh no
He had no moneyNo, no good at homeWalked the streets a soldier and he fought the world aloneAnd now it's
Eighteen and life, you got itEighteen and life, you knowYour crime is time and it'sEighteen and life to goEighteen and life, you got itEighteen and life, you knowYour crime is timeAnd it's eighteen and life to go
Tequila in his heartbeatHis veins burned gasolineIt kept his motor runningBut it never kept him cleanThey say he loved adventure"Ricky's the wild one"He married troubleHad a courtship with a gun
Bang-bang, shoot 'em upThe party never endsYou can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friendAnd now it's
