18 And Life Lyrics - Skid Row - Skid Row

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, oh 

No good at home 

He walked the streets 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 

Eighteen and life you got it 

Eighteen and life you know 

Your crime is time and it's 

Eighteen and life to go 

Tequila in his heartbeat 

His veins burned gasoline 

It kept his motor runnin' 

But he 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 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 

Eighteen and life you got it 

Eighteen and life you know 

Your crime is time and it's 

Eighteen and life to go 

Accidents will happen 

They all heard Ricky say 

He fired his six-shot to the wind 

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 

Eighteen and life you got it 

Eighteen and life you know 

Your crime is time and it's 

Eighteen and life to go, yeah 

Oh oh
