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

Eighteen and life to go

Your crime is time and it's
A# F Gm
Eighteen and life to go
[Bridge]
A# F
Accidents will happen, they all heard Ricky say
D# F
He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away
[Solo] 2x
Gm D# A# F
Gm D# F F
[Chorus]
Gm D#
Eighteen and life you got it
