18 & Life - Erik Grönwall
Ricky was a young boy he had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5 and he worked his fingers to the bone
Just barely at school came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down oh no
He had no money no no good at home
He walked the streets as 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 burned gasoline
He 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
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
"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
18 and life you got it 18 and life to go
