Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone Lived nine to five and he walked his big ass down the mall Too late, he had a school, came from the injured town Put back the switchblade so no one could take him down No, he had no money, no, no good at home Walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world but no one is now Eighteen and life you got it, 18 and life you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go Eighteen and life you got it, 18 and life you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go The key lie in his heartbeat, his veins full of gasoline It kept his motor running, but it never kept him clean They say through life's adventure, Ricky's the wild one He married trouble, had a car trip with a gun Bang, bang, shoot him up, but the party never ends You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend in an hour Eighteen and life you got it, 18 and life you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go Eighteen and life you got it, 18 and life you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go As it is, we'll have fun, and then you'll all hear Ricky say He fired his six shots to the wind, a-choo, a-choo, a-choo A-choo, a-choo, a-choo, a-choo Eighteen and life you got it, 18 and life you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go Eighteen and life you got it, 18 and life you know Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go Oh, oh, oh, oh
