<Skid Row - 18 And Life>
|
|
Ricky was a young boy, He had a heart of stone.
|
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
|
Just barely got 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 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
|
(repeat above)
|
|
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
|
|
"Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky say
|
He fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away.
