18 And Life (LP Version)

[00:21.18] Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone

[00:26.99] Lived nine to five and worked his fingers to the bone

[00:32.28] Just barely out of school, came from the edge of town

[00:37.51] Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down

[00:42.83] He had no money, no no good at home

[00:47.92] Walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone

[00:52.17] And now it's

[00:53.51] Eighteen and life you got it

[00:56.24] Eighteen and life you know

[00:58.88] Your crime is time and it's

[01:01.54] Eighteen and life to go

[01:03.95] Eighteen and life you got it

[01:06.60] Eighteen and life you know

[01:09.25] Your crime is time and it's

[01:11.71] Eighteen and life to go

[01:19.83] --

[01:25.24] Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline

[01:30.58] It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean

[01:35.95] They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one"

[01:41.24] He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun

[01:46.52] Bang Bang shoot 'em up, the party never ends

[01:51.57] You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend

[01:55.71] And now it's

[01:57.06] Eighteen and life you got it

[01:59.97] Eighteen and life you know

[02:02.40] Your crime is time and it's

[02:05.02] Eighteen and life to go

[02:07.71] Eighteen and life you got it

[02:10.29] Eighteen and life you know

[02:13.14] Your crime is time and it's

[02:15.31] Eighteen and life to go

[02:23.37] "Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky say

[02:28.42] He fired his six-shot to the wind - that child blew a child away

[02:37.24] --

[02:55.54] Eighteen and life you got it

[02:58.21] Eighteen and life you know

[03:00.90] Your crime is time and it's

[03:03.48] Eighteen and life to go

[03:06.31] Eighteen and life you got it

[03:08.95] Eighteen and life you know

[03:11.60] Your crime is time and it's

[03:13.80] Eighteen and life to go

[03:20.31] --
