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.. He had no money oooh no good at home.. He walked the streets as 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. (2x). 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. Eighteen and life you got it. Eighteen and life you know. Your crime is time and it's. Eighteen and life to go. (2x). accidents will happen" they all heard ricky say. He fired his six-shot to the wind and that child 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. (2x)
