Skid Row - 18 and life
=======================

Ricky was a young boy
- he had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5
And he worked his fingers to the bone

Just barely out of school
Came from the edge of town
...foughts like a switchblade...
So no one could take him down

Oh no...

He had no money
No... no good at home
He walked the streets as a soldier
And these fucker was alone

...and now it's...

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 vains burned gasoline
It kept his motor runnin'
...but it never keps him clean...

They say 'he loved adventure'
- Ricky's the wild one !
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...

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

"Accidents will happen...
- be on hood" Ricky said
He fired his six-shot through the wind
...than a shot blew a child away...

...

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
