Skid Row - 18 and Life

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone

Lived nine to five and he worked his fingers to the bone

Just barely out of school, came from the edge of town

Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down

No, he had no money, oh no good at home

He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone

And now it's 18 and life you got it

18 and life you know

Your crime is time

And it's 18 and life to go

18 and life you got it

18 and life you know

Your crime is time

And it's 18 and life to go

Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burn gasoline

He kept his motor running, but he never kept it clean

They say he loved adventure, Rick is the wild one

He married trouble and 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 18 and life you got it

18 and life you know

Your crime is time

And it's 18 and life to go

18 and life you got it

18 and life you know, your crime is time, and it's 18 and life to go.

Accidents will happen, they all heard Ricky say,

He fired his X-shot to the wind, that shot blew a child away.

18 and life you got it, 18 and life you know,

Your crime is time, and it's 18 and life to go.

18 and life, you got it.

18 and life, you know.

Your crime is time, and it's 18 and life to go.
