[Intro]
Am Am Am F G 2x
[Verse]
Am
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
F G
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone
Am
Just barely out of school came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade
F G F
So no one could take him down, He had no money, ooh
Dm
No good at home
F G
He walked the streets a soldier, and he fought the world alone
And now its...
[Chorus]
Am F
Eighteen and life you got it
C G
EIghteen and life you know
Am F
Your crime is time and it's
C G
Eighteen and life to go
Am F
Eighteen and life you got it
C G
Eighteen and life you know
Am F
Your crime is time and it's
C G Am
Eighteen and life to go
[Interlude]
Am Am Am F G 2x
[Verse]
Am
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
Am F G
It kept his motor running, But it never kept him clean
Am
They say he loved adventure.
F
Ricky's the wild one, He married trouble had a courtship
G
with a gun
F Dm
Bang, bang shoot em' up, The party never ends
F G
You can't think of dying when that bottle is your best friend
And now it's...
[Chorus]
Am F
Eighteen and life you got it
C G
EIghteen and life you know
Am F
Your crime is time and it's
C G
Eighteen and life to go

Eighteen and life you got it

Eighteen and life you know
Am F
Your crime is time and it's
C G Am
Eighteen and life to go
[Bridge]
C G
Accidents will happen, they all heard Ricky say
F G
He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away
[Solo] 2x
Am F C G
Am F G G
[Chorus]
Am F
Eighteen and life you got it
