18 and Life (Remastered) Lyrics by Skid Row

Skid Row (30th Anniversary Edition)

1989

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 out of school
Came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade
So no one could take him down, no
He had no money
Oh, no good at home
He walked the streets a 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
It kept his motor running
But it never kept him clean
They say he loved adventure
"Ricky's the wild one"
He married trouble and 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
"Accidents will happen"
They all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind
That child blew a child away
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
Oh yeah
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
