x2
[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]

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.

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.

"Accidents will happen", they all heard Ricky say.

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