18 And Life

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 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, no, no good at home

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, woah, yes

Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline

It kept his motor runnin' but it never kept it 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 dyin' 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, yeah, yeah

Accidents will happen

But they all heard Ricky say

He fired his six-shot to the wind

That child blew a child away

Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, 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, yeah, yeah!

Woah, woah, woah
