[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
He had no money, no
No good at home
Walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it's
[Chorus]
Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and 18 life to go
Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and 18 life to go
[Verse 2]
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean
They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one"
He married trouble, had a courtship with a gun
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and 18 life to go
Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and 18 life to go
Yeah, yeah
(SOLO)
[Chorus]
Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and 18 life to go
Eighteen and life, you got it
Eighteen and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's eighteen and 18 life to go
Yeah, yeah
