[Intro]

[Verse]
Cm
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
G# A#
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone
Cm
Just barely out of school came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade
G# A# G#
So no one could take him down, He had no money, ooh
Fm
No good at home
G# A#
He walked the streets a soldier, and he fought the world alone
And now its...
[Chorus]
Cm G#
Eighteen and life you got it
D# A#
EIghteen and life you know
Cm G#
Your crime is time and it's
D# A#
Eighteen and life to go
Cm G#
Eighteen and life you got it
D# A#
Eighteen and life you know
Cm G#
Your crime is time and it's
D# A# Cm
Eighteen and life to go
[Interlude]
Cm Cm Cm G# A# 2x
[Verse]
Cm
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
Cm G# A#
It kept his motor running, But it never kept him clean
Cm
They say he loved adventure.
G#
Ricky's the wild one, He married trouble had a courtship
A#
with a gun
G# Fm
Bang, bang shoot em' up, The party never ends
G# A#
You can't think of dying when that bottle is your best friend
And now it's...
[Chorus]
Cm G#
Eighteen and life you got it
D# A#
EIghteen and life you know

Your crime is time and it's

[Bridge]
D# A#
Accidents will happen, they all heard Ricky say
G# A#
He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away
[Solo] 2x
