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 He came from the edge of town Fought like a switchblade So no one could take him down, oh no He had no money No, 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 full of gasoline He 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, ye-yeah Accidents will happen? They all heard Ricky say He fired his six-shot to the wind That child blew a child away, ye-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
