Ricky was a young boy He had a heart of
stone Lived 9 to 5 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, ooh No good at
home He walked the streets a soldier And he
fought the world alone And now
it's...
Chorus: 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 on 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...
Chorus
"Accidents will
happen" They all heard Ricky say He fired
his six-shot to the wind That child blew a
child away
