1.Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone.
|
Lived nine to five and he worked his fingers to the bone.
|
Just barely out of school, came from the edge of town.
|
Fought like a switch-blade 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...

|
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 !
|
|
2.Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline.
|
It kept his motor running, but it never kept him clean.
|
They said 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.
|
Accidents will happen," they all heard Ricky say.

|
|
He fired his six shot to the wind, that child blew a child away.
