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

Your crime is time and it's

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