Lyrics 18 And Life - Erik Grönwall

Ricky was a young boy,
He had a heart of stone.
Lived 9 to 5 and worked
His fingers to the bone.
Just barely got out of school,
Came from the edge of town.
Fought like a switchblade so no one
Could take him down.
He had no money, oooh 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
(Repeat above)

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
And 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

"Accidents will happen"
They all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to
The wind that blew a child away.
