Lyrics
Ricky was a young boyHe had a heart of stone
Lived nine to five and worked his
Fingers to the bone
Just barely get out of school
Came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade
So no one could take him down girl
He had no money woah
No good at home
He walked the streets as soldier
And he fought the world alone and now it's
Eightteen and a life you got it
Eightteen and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
Eightteen and life to go
Eightteen and a life you got it
Eightteen and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
Eightteen and life to go
Oh oh oh oh
Tequila in his heartbeat
His veins burned gasoline
It kept his motor runnin'
But he never kept it 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
Eightteen and a life you got it
Eightteen and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
Eightteen and a life to go
Eightteen and a life you got it
Eightteen and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
Eightteen and life to go
Yeah yeah
Accidents will happen
They all heard Ricky say
He fired his sixshot to the wind
That child blew child away yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Eightteen and a life you got it
Eightteen and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
Eightteen and a life to go
Eightteen and a life you got it
Eightteen and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
Eightteen and life to go
Yeah yeah
Uh oh woah woah

This version sounds completely different from the actual song, but it's still great.
