[Intro]
Em Em Em C D 2x
[Verse]
Em
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
C D
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone
Em
Just barely out of school came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade
C D C
So no one could take him down, He had no money, ooh
Am
No good at home
C D
He walked the streets a soldier, and he fought the world alone
And now its...
[Chorus]
Em C
Eighteen and life you got it
G D
EIghteen and life you know
Em C
Your crime is time and it's
G D
Eighteen and life to go
Em C
Eighteen and life you got it

Em C
Your crime is time and it's
G D Em
Eighteen and life to go
[Interlude]
Em Em Em C D 2x
[Verse]
Em
Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
Em C D
It kept his motor running, But it never kept him clean
Em
They say he loved adventure.
C
Ricky's the wild one, He married trouble had a courtship
D
with a gun
C Am
Bang, bang shoot em' up, The party never ends
C D
You can't think of dying when that bottle is your best friend
And now it's...
[Chorus]
Em C
Eighteen and life you got it

Your crime is time and it's

Accidents will happen, they all heard Ricky say
C D
He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away
[Solo] 2x
