Asking Alexandria - 18 And Life lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 get out of school, came from the edge of town Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, oh no He had no money, oh, no good at home He walked the streets as soldier and he fought the world alone [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline He 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 [Chorus] [Bridge] "Accidents will happen", they all heard Ricky say He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away [Chorus]
