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, ooh 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

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…

18 and life You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go

“Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away.

Chorus.

18 Y Vida

Ricky era un muchacho joven, tenía un corazón de piedra
Vivio 9 a 5 y trabajó sus dedos hasta el hueso
Rara vez iba a la escuela, venia del borde de el Pueblo
Peleaba como una navaja automática para que nadie lo pudiera acabar
No tenía dinero, ooh nada bueno en casa
Caminaba las calles un soldado y lucho contra el mundo solo
Y ahora es…

18 y vida es lo que tienes
18 y vida tu lo sabes
Tu crimen es el tiempo y es
18 y vida para irse

Tequila en el latido de su corazón, sus venas quemaban Gasolina.
Mantenia su motor corriendo pero no lo mantenia limpio.
Dicen que amaba la aventura, “Ricky es el salvaje”
Se caso con los problemas y cortejo a su pistola.
Bang, bang, dispara a todos, la fiesta nunca termina.
No puedes pensar en morir cuando la botella es tu mejor amiga
Y ahora es…

18 y vida es lo que tienes
18 y vida tu lo sabes
Tu crimen es el tiempo y es
18 y vida para irse

“Los accidentes pasarán” todos escucharon a Ricky decir
Disparo sus seis tiros al aire que mataron a un niño.

Coro.
