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

He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away
