Lyrics 18 and Life - Verschiedene Interpret:innen

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5 and 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, 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
Yes

Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
It kept his motor runnin', 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

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, yeah-yeah

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

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

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, yeah
Yeah

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa
