[Verse 1]
[C#m] [B] [C#m] [B]
Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone.
[C#m] [B] [A] [B]
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
[C#m] [B] [C#m] [B]
Just barely out of school, came from the edge of town.
[C#m] [B] [A] [B]
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.
[Pre-Chorus]
[A] [F#]
He had no money, ooh, no good at home.
[G#] [F#] [G#] [A] [B]
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it's...
[Chorus]
[C#m] [A] [E] [B]
Eighteen and life you got it. Eighteen and life you know.
[C#m] [A] [E] [B]
Your crime is time and it's, eighteen and life to go.
[C#m] [A] [E] [B]
Eighteen and life you got it. Eighteen and life you know.
[C#m] [A] [E] [B] [C#m]
Your crime is time and it's, eighteen and life to go.

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

[E] [B]
"Accidents will happen", they all heard Ricky say.

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